Miss Amanda George | Freelance editing for academics, businesses, and charities

What do I do? 

I help academics, businesses, and charities produce writing that is grammatically sound, clear, and professional. Whether it's a case study, blog post, or research paper, my clients have the peace of mind that their work is being checked by an experienced human editor with the skills and knowledge to make their words count. 

What do my clients need? 

My academic clients need to know their work is styled correctly, grammatically sound, and academically rigorous – and accessible to readers within and outside their community. They often need their references styled and checked, as well as formatting and basic fact-checking.

Businesses and charities want solid grammar and styling too, but they also benefit from plain English – simple writing that informs or inspires their readers to take action. ​

Whatever they need, and whether or not they have used AI to draft or check their work, I provide professional editorial support; helpful comments that educate and connect editor and client; and collaboration, kindness, and empathy. 

My background

My pathway to freelance editing included an English and Latin degree, working in a university bookshop for 10 years, and producing publications for a Cambridge college for 10 years. Since 2009, I have offered freelance editorial support to charities, academics, and businesses, giving them the confidence to showcase websites, submit papers, and publish reports on time. 

My ethos

My approach celebrates human potential, empowering people to educate and connect with their readers through their words. I love working with clients who enjoy the process of writing. And while I don't use AI tools myself, I also have the skills and experience to check, humanise, and strengthen AI output.
