Deirdre Coleman: freelance writer, subeditor and proofreader

Deirdre Coleman
Helping you communicate clearly and effectively – online and in print

I am a writer, editor, subeditor and proofreader with 25+ years’ experience in crafting and shaping content that’s easy to read, impactful and informative. My work ranges from magazine editing and feature writing to digital content creation, book editing and proofreading.

My clients include corporates, charities, government departments, publishers, design professionals, postgraduate students, authors, health boards and ad agencies.

Having worked as a commissioning editor, I understand what it takes to put a magazine together. As a seasoned proofreader, I can pick up errors and inconsistencies in the text, typography and layout. I’m also passionate about grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation – I'll make sure the copy is clean and accurate.

Among my favourite work is helping authors prepare their books for publication. It’s been a pleasure to assist them with the structure and character development for their novels, and to edit and proofread non-fiction works for professionals and academics.
