Mairi is currently open for new projects
Your editor is your most valuable teammate.
You know what you want to say. It’s my job as a freelance editor to make sure your audience knows it too.
Why hire me?
- As a developmental editor, I get to know you, your message, and your personality so we can say what you’re trying to say, exactly how you want to say it.
- I take industry jargon and make it into something anyone can understand – and act on.
- I keep an eye on your whole project, so you can rest assured that page 180 won’t contradict what you said on page 9.
- As a copyeditor, I take care of the technical side of things too, formatting your text for house or academic style.
- And when I’m done, I proofread your text to make sure that every full stop, comma, page number, and footnote is behaving like it should.
Freelance English editing, straight from the Austrian alps.
I’m a member of the UK’s Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, which promotes excellence in English-language editing.
Since I became a freelance editor in 2019, I’ve edited everything from children’s books to university textbooks, marketing campaigns, project proposals, and books for the mass market. My background is in literature, and I now specialise in theology, history, and educational texts. In the past year, I have worked on projects for Baylor University Press, T&T Clark, SPCK, IVP, History Today magazine, and the Gustav Klimt Foundation in Vienna.
And most importantly, my feedback is considered, constructive, and kind.
I have a particular passion for working with neurodivergent authors to help them bring their stories to their audience. In 2026, I am actively seeking new partnerships with neurodivergent authors of literary fiction, memoir, and popular-level theology.
Finishing a manuscript is a huge achievement. Now let’s work together to help it be the best it can be.
