Freelance Editor for Businesses and Non-Fiction Authors

I help you polish your writing so you can educate, inspire or prompt readers to take action.

Is editing your least favourite part of writing? Do you find errors after hitting send – even when you use a grammar checker?

If so, you're not alone. Editing your own work is hard. While you can use AI tools like Grammarly, you'll still need to wade through hundreds of flagged errors to figure out if they're right or wrong, which can take hours.

What's more, those tools won't flag inaccuracies, clichés or inconsistencies. This can be a problem if you want your words to build trust, educate or prompt readers to take action. Any friction can lose your audience or undermine your credibility.

As a freelance editor, I help you avoid these pitfalls by cross-checking facts, weeding out errors, and improving the flow and logic of your writing. I also make sure your voice remains intact and that your message connects with your ideal audience.

Let's polish your writing

Hey, I'm Gabriella Sterio, a freelance editor and website copywriter based in Sydney.

I've spent more than 15 years helping publishers, non-fiction authors and businesses turn rough drafts into polished prose. I also help e-commerce and lifestyle brands get noticed and win loyal fans with personality-driven website copy.

If your words aren't making an impact or you want an eagle-eyed editor on your team, I can help. With editing or copywriting that always respects your voice, I'll eliminate errors, weed out waffle and make your book, website or blog the best version it can be!

How I can help

Copyediting

Proofreading

Whether it's a book, blog or email sequence, I'll use track changes to correct grammar and spelling errors, eliminate repetition, and improve the flow and clarity of
your writing.

If your book, manual or flyer copy has already been typeset, I can review the PDF files and use Adobe markup tools to highlight any outstanding language or
formatting errors.

Website copywriting

If your website copy needs a refresh, I can provide a partial or full rewrite to ensure your words
are optimised for Google, speak
to your ideal customer and
drive conversions.
