Clean copy, on time, makes sense.
CREDIT is coming your way! So I’ve moved my usual services to this page.
What’s this about?
It’s for editors
CREDIT is an exciting new webinar series for editors, offering two options:
A four-part series (of which 2 have been developed already) = one area of focus, 4 webinars of one hour each. One week apart.
Focus webinars = niche topic covered in one hour.
It’s for professional development
The webinar topics are for all editors, new and experienced. In making things better, we make things stronger. The CREDIT series aims to do just that:
- Develop your awareness of the nuances of your craft;
- Enhance your sense of responsibility as an editor;
- Embrace a sense of proactivity in your editing journey; and
- Create a feeling of expansiveness about work that you can access.
Each series includes an ebooklet with summaries of the webinar content. Each webinar includes discussion time for shared learning and colleague interaction.
But mostly, it’s for good
I’m using editing to make things better: better for editors, and better for others. All profits raised through CREDIT will be forwarded to an identified need.

Where CREDIT started
Credit should be given where credit is due. A friend was selected to represent our country overseas but had to raise their own funds. They had helped me in a time of need and I wanted to help them. I couldn’t offer anything grand or obvious immediately but knew I wanted to contribute. People deserve to be supported when there’s good reason to do so. I wondered what I could do to raise funds – maybe ‘sell’ something to others for a small fee that could then be paid forward to a worthy cause?
And so CREDIT was born. Giving credit where it’s due and using editing to make things better.
