About Philippa
I have been helping clients get their messages across in clear, consistent English for 20 years.
I offer copy-editing, writing and translation services with a focus on plain, accessible language.
If you're concerned about whether your English writing is getting your message across, allow me to zoom in on the finer details while keeping one eye on the bigger picture.
No more worries about accurate terminology, stylistic inconsistencies or cross-cultural blunders in your communications.
I particularly love working with multilingual authors.
I work with NGOs, charities, non-profits, businesses and educational publishers to help them expand their reach in English.
