About Peter
I help academics, businesses, and organisations turn complex ideas into clear, polished, and impactful English.
I specialise in editing, copywriting, and French–English translation, delivering work that is precise, engaging, and ready for publication or professional use.
✔ Academic & professional editing
✔ Copywriting and ghostwriting
✔ French → English translation
I focus on clarity, tone, and accuracy—ensuring your message is not just correct, but effective.
Clients praise my meticulous editing and translation, particularly on complex or nuanced texts. For example, a recent project involved producing an 800-word article and 300 marketing soundbites for a social enterprise; the client highlighted my proactivity, insight, and overdelivery, noting that the work exceeded expectations and was delivered ahead of schedule.
As a published writer with two poetry collections and multiple literary award nominations, I bring both creativity and professionalism to every project. I work closely with clients to understand their goals, refine messaging, and elevate materials to a professional standard.
Whether you need a polished manuscript, persuasive marketing copy, or precise translations, I provide the expertise, attention to detail, and creativity to deliver results that stand out.
Let’s connect and bring your project to life!
