Helping People Craft Their Words

Hello, I’m Nicolette Gardiner.

I am a professional editor and writer.

This means that I help authors, companies, organisations and individuals craft their words with excellence and clarity.

If you have a book, critical document, or important communication that needs a qualified and experienced editor or writer, contact me today.

Let's Work Together

I have been working in the fields of communication, writing and editing for over 40 years and am a Full Member of both the Professional Editors Guild and SAFREA (the Southern African Freelancers Association). 

You can find my standard rates for 2024 here. However please note that each project is quoted on an individual basis and the cost may depend on factors like:

  • Number of pages and words for editing;
  • Quality of the writing – I will need a sample of the work to assess this;
  • Number of words and length of item required for writing projects;
  • Corporate work is charged for at my hourly rate.

If you are working on a book, document, article, thesis or critical communication and need an experienced editor and writer who can help you craft your words with excellence and clarity, please get in touch with me for a quote.
