ABOUT
Hi! I’m Alannah.
Hi! I’m Alannah. Originally from Australia, I’m a freelance proofreader and editor based in Lisbon, Portugal.
My childhood was spent with my nose in a book. Any book I could get my hands on, really: fiction, non-fiction, short stories, encyclopaedias – the list goes on. My love for words inspired in me a deep appreciation for the rules and principles that govern the English language.
I moved to the UK at the age of eighteen, where I pursued a bachelor’s in Biology and a master’s in International Business Management. During my academic years, I often assisted friends, classmates and colleagues with their writing.
After working in the travel industry and cooperating with non-profit organisations, I decided to move to Portugal, which prompted me to pursue my passion. Not only did I complete a Level 5 TEFL certification to teach English, but I also became a certified proofreader and editor trained by the UK-based College of Media and Publishing.
Along with my passion for words, I also have a love for bookbinding, novel writing, reading, travelling and baking.
SERVICES
What I can do
I offer proofreading and editing services for a wide variety of writing forms. From articles to blog posts, CVs/cover letters to social media posts, and information booklets to fiction/non-fiction books.
It’s notoriously difficult to proofread and edit your own work well. More often than not, an extra pair of well-trained eyes is needed to ensure the best quality of writing in the final copy.
My proofreading service can provide the final check your copy needs before being published, while my editing service can help you rework your copy during the drafting phases.

Reviews
“It was a pleasure to work with Alannah. Not only did she proofread my material, she also offered interesting insights and suggestions. I felt like having the text read by her enhanced the quality of the text. I really enjoyed working with her and will be hiring her services in the future again.”
