In this small corner of the editing world, we love everything to do with books, language, writing and editing. That is why we're committed to making your writing stand out for the right reasons. It's also why we recommend working closely with you throughout your editing journey, and investing our passion into your project!

About Me

My name is Kerrin and I'm the owner at Purple Pen Proofreading and Copy Editing.

My love of reading and of good books, led me to explore a career in copy editing, which to me feels like pure pleasure instead of work!

I studied at the College of Media and Publishing, based in London.

I specialize in perfecting translated text into British English, American English and South African English, and also correcting and improving the English between those languages.

What I most enjoy working on are Christian fiction and non-fiction works, and feel that my contribution could aid your ministry in a small way.

I also love self-help text, coaching guides and any writing with a positive and uplifting tone - it teaches me too as I work on it!
