About Jenny Gibson
I proofread, edit and write for marketing teams, design agencies, businesses and schools.
The year 2024 is my 10th as a freelance proofreader, copyeditor and copywriter. Before going self-employed, I held various senior marketing roles over a 15-year period, working in retail and manufacturing organisations and in a marketing agency.
I'm positive, friendly and flexible. Having worked in marketing, I understand my clients' time pressures and always do whatever I can to accommodate a deadline shift.
With my marketing and business background, could I be a good fit for your business? I'd be delighted to hear from you.

My experience
Volunteering
I am lucky to volunteer as a fosterer for Guide Dogs by providing a loving home for a dog in training.
Through volunteering for this amazing charity, I have developed a growing interest in dog welfare, training and behaviour – and would welcome the opportunity to work on content in this field.
Testimonials
Jenny is, quite simply, a joy to work with. We have engaged Jenny’s proofreading expertise for many years for a number of our annual publications and we would definitely not wish to go to print without knowing she has reviewed the document for accuracy and consistency.
Jenny’s attention to detail is second to none and we are particularly impressed with her commitment to understanding our publications and to learning and embracing our brand guidelines, to ensure they are applied throughout our publications.
Furthermore, Jenny is a joy to work with – unfailingly polite and flexible when it comes to our often fluid deadlines and timescales!
Anna Stevenson, Head of Marketing and Communications, Norwich School
Jenny has worked with us for a couple of years on a range of publications including magazines, client projects and various ad-hoc research reports – all with different requirements. Jenny is a consummate professional and understands the magazine production process thoroughly.
She is efficient, flexible and I trust her judgement 100%. I feel very lucky to have her as an extended part of my team – her work is invaluable!
Mary Appleton, former Director and Editor in Chief, Changeboard (now Future Talent Learning)
I went through the brochure over the weekend and just want to say thank you so much.
You really are worth your weight in gold!
