Hi, I'm Kathy Young

I’m here to make your life easier by writing and editing your words. I help organisations bring their ideas to life through clear, compelling words. As a freelance writer, editor and proofreader I love making complex subjects clear and concise or untangling a complex sentence until it sings.

Feature Writing

This involves research, interviewing and writing on the required subject – usually for magazines and websites. I've written for dozens of companies and magazines from Autocar to Wilderness magazine, from floristry to photography businesses.

Editor Services

I am currently editor of two quarterly magazines. My job is to ensure a quality publication that meets the readers' expectations. Working within a thorough editorial process, I set high editorial standards and work with designers and other creatives to produce great content.

Copyediting and Proofreading

Copyediting involves a detailed look at the structure and clarity of sentences, as well as catching grammar and spelling mistakes. Proofreading identifies any last-minute typos and layout errors prior to publication. I've worked on annual reports, catalogues and magazines to catch all those annoying little errors and make your publication look professional and polished.
