Welcome to my website!

​I'm Pamela Smith and I'm a professional proofreader and copy-editor based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I work with writers, publishers, organisations and businesses to produce written material that is well presented, grammatically correct and thoroughly screened for errors.  

It's surprising how much difference a fresh pair of eyes can make. Working with a professional proofreader or editor will help you to express your ideas clearly and give the best impression of yourself and your work; it can also save you time and money, so it's a worthwhile investment. 
 
My day job is with Hansard at the Northern Ireland Assembly. As a freelance, I work in a wide variety of non-fiction fields  and have particular experience and expertise in music, management, the arts and governance. I'm a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, which means you can expect a high-quality, reliable service. Feel free to email me, get in touch using the contact form, or give me a ring for an informal chat.

I look forward to hearing from you!
