Emma Hearnes is a word whisperer and comma connoisseur, soon to complete the Associate Degree of Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT.

Her hobbies include mending broken lists, catching dangling modifiers and unravelling the mysteries of the semicolon. You will find her advocating for the en dash; you will not find her interrupting conversations to correct grammar.

So your words need polishing…

SERVICES

  • Need someone to check your spelling and grammar and make sure your work is clear and consistent?

  • Need someone to do a final check for errors in text and design before your work is published?

  • Need a custom-made set of guidelines so that your brand/business is consistent in its use of language, format and voice?

“Emma's skilled and respectful approach to editing elevated my feature pieces to a higher level. She managed to navigate a dramatic word count reduction while maintaining the integrity of people's voices and themes. She is also a delight to work with!”

“Emma was a volunteer editor during the writing of our SDG Youth Progress research report. She was incredibly hardworking and went above and beyond to contribute meaningfully to this project. [With] a very short turn-around and Emma was fundamental to ensuring that the project was ready in time. She worked well with the other editors, ensuring that everyone was contributing and respected. If you are looking for a passionate and hardworking team member, I highly recommend Emma.”
