Tide Communications

words that flow

Writing. Editing. Proofreading. 

I write, edit and proof content for government, non-government organisations, and their affiliates.

Notepad and pen

Write.

I write content to fit your purpose and audience. I love simple, clear words and encourage the use of plain English.

Like you, I want your readers to understand your messages.

Eraser

Edit.

I copyedit your words; checking grammar, spelling, and consistency in word use and content formatting.

I use your inhouse style guide or a style guide such as the Australian Government’s Style Manual.

Marker

Proof.

Then there’s the final check.

I scan your document for stray punctuation, check your branding has been applied, and ensure that the document is up to your organisation’s standards.

About Tide Communications

I’m Trudy. I’m a freelance editor who loves words, grammar and punctuation but not necessarily in that order.

I paint and write poetry.

I have nearly 30 years experience in the local government sector where I’ve honed my writing, copyediting and proofreading skills on media releases, web content, newsletters, annual reports, procedures, enewsletters, surveys, posters and fact sheets.

I combine visual and word communication skills, offering editing services with a dash of creativity.

What my clients say

GREAT copywriting and presentation of the document. Trudy gave me lots of scope to design around key messages…love it! Thank you for the great work!

Paul Vanzella, Vanzella Creative

Trudy is an excellent proofreader. She has an eye that misses nothing, both at the specific line level as well as maintaining the integrity of the whole project. She is professionally generous, works to exacting deadlines and is a pleasure to work with.
I recommend Trudy for both business communication and creative projects.
