The Enlightened Edit
Clear, consistent writing you can feel confident about.
I'm Lisa, and I proofread and edit for small business owners who write their own content.
Get started with my free writing style sheet: a simple guide to keeping your spelling, formatting and tone steady, whether you're writing emails, web pages, blogs or product descriptions.
Does this sound familiar?
You know your business inside and out, but there are still times where you re-read every email, caption or blog post before you publish: do you need a capital letter there? Do you refer to your business as "I" or "we"? What format do you use for headings?
Small inconsistencies like these can make your business seem less polished and professional and the doubt takes up time you can't afford to waste.
A style sheet gives you one place to record all of your decisions, giving you one place to check so you can stop second-guessing yourself and hit publish with confidence!

About Me
Hi, I'm Lisa McKenzie.
I am an English teacher-turned-editor with 20 years' experience helping people clarify and refine their writing.
No matter the type of writing you do in your business - be it emails, blogs, webcopy, marketing materials or product descriptions - I can help you ensure it is clear, polished, professional and, most importantly, in your own voice.
I am passionate about language and love getting into the nitty gritty of grammar. My teaching experience means I won't just make changes to your writing; I explain each alteration I suggest so you remain in total control.
Testimonals
"Lisa proofread and edited each of the documents to ensure they were accurate which proved invaluable as fresh eyes pinpointed errors that I had missed."
Susan B - NHS Student
"Lisa was a massive asset to my business...[She] found errors with consistency not just in language but also formatting, an issue with changing between pronouns and a spelling mistake! I highly recommend Lisa for proof reading and polishing your own words to an evolved level. I guarantee you she'll teach you something new about the English language and you come away with a superior piece from what you started with.”
