Writing for Professionals: Business and academic

• Researcher
• Proofreader
• Copy editing, line editing, substantive editing, mechanical editing, and developmental editing

Writing is meticulously critiqued for grammar, syntax, organization, and punctuation. Clients will come away with something that is not only thoughtful, concise, and well organized, but also persuasive and inspiring.

I’d been working on my book for over a dozen years, and I thought I knew it as well as it could be known. Then I gave it to Deirdre Higgins. She understood its themes and narrative progression in a way only a true writer and editor could. And she found errors in the text that no one else had spotted, even though it had been proofread by numerous other professional readers.

I hired Deirdre to edit a book in 2022 and was very glad of it. She is an amazing writer and editor. Her understanding of tone and structure, as well as her impeccably concise wording, come through from the get-go. I highly recommend her for any literary work!

We worked with Deirdre on a book editing project, which included 30 separate narratives of architects from different countries. She was very professional and patient. She went beyond the simple copy-editing and tried to understand the background of each of the authors in order to do proper editing. Deirdre made suggestions on content to improve the style of the book.  I highly recommend her for your next project.

I am an ophthalmologist, from Egypt. I worked with Deirdre Higgins while I was writing a newsletter in English for my medical students. With Deirdre, I was able to make my writing more clear and precise. I learned many useful grammar and writing tips from her. Also, she helped me in editing my writing.
