Welcome to writtenword, the website of Susan Milligan, freelance editor and proofreader.


For text that is accurate, clear and well-styled, contact a professional.

I specialise in editing and proofreading for publishers, companies and research institutes.

I bring these skills and qualities to everything I work on:

• first-class grasp of English grammar and spelling
• clarity and accuracy
• an eye for detail and good organisational skills
• on-screen skills and access to up-to-date software
• reliability - I always meet my deadline!

I offer a full editing and proofreading service for publishers, on subjects as diverse as classics, literature, memoirs/biography, culture and arts, true crime, family history, cookery and Scottish interest.

I also work for organisations on reports, prospectuses and in-house magazines, and can provide a fast and reliable service to make the final text clear, accurate and ready for designing or typesetting.
