The intro
Hello, my name is Will Bramhill. I am a newspaper sub-editor (print and digital). I have also worked in training, public relations and lobbying.
I spent years learning my craft in the provinces before moving to Fleet Street, where my regular engagements include The Times, The Sunday Times, the Financial Times and FT Forums.
I work on newspapers, websites and magazines for single “fill-in” shifts or for longer engagements. I am also happy to accept one-off commissions to check and/or rewrite any kind of corporate documents, including company, conference and meeting reports – confidentiality assured.
I am based in Colchester, Essex, which is 50 minutes by train from London, but I am happy to accept work from anywhere in the world. I am familiar with Amazon Work Stations and remote desktop service software.

What I can do for you
I am the extra eyes that everyone needs after they commit words to paper or screen. No matter how good a writer you are, the gremlins can spoil it for you. You aim to make an impression … but one wrong word, a tangled thought or misplaced apostrophe can ruin the whole piece.
If your language lets you down, it probably costs you readers and/or customers too.
This is where I come in. I will make your words sing. I will erase errors. I will fact-check. I will make sure your message is clear and as brief as it needs to be. I will check your style for consistency and advise you on possible legal pitfalls.
If English is your second language, I can help you lose the rough edges that come with a straight translation, adding idiom if necessary.
Talking tech
I am familiar with a range of apps, including Methode, Adobe (InDesign and InCopy), Quark, the Office suite, the iWork suite and Blocs for Mac. I can also use Affinity Photo, Publisher and Designer. I am a fast learner and can quickly pick up the basics of most editing, page-design and web-publishing programs.
