About Me
Hello, I’m Heather. I'm the face behind Bowland Editorial. I am a freelance copyeditor and proofreader. I'm a BIG lover of the outdoors; my life motto is 'Think outside, no box required'. I am a keen fell walker and runner and the mountains are my medicine! I served in the RAF for 13 years and have worked in the public sector since I left the RAF in 2018. It’s always been a dream of mine to work for myself and what better way than to combine this dream with my love and passion for reading, writing and languages. I have a MSc in Counter Terrorism and I’m a linguist by trade. I live in Lancaster (near the Forest of Bowland - hence the name!) with my husband, our daughter, our golden retriever and our cocker spaniel pup. I am passionate about helping others reach their writing goals. If your writing goal is a book, a blog, a flyer or an article for a magazine -- I'm here to help! I take inspiration from the great outdoors and love working with like-minded folk. I predominantly work with non-fiction text and my areas of expertise include:
-
Outdoor adventure
-
Nature/animals
-
Travel
-
Sport
-
Health and fitness
-
Self-help
-
Defence
-
Aviation
-
Technology
-
Security
I offer a free sample edit/proofread of up to 1000 words.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to get a quote or for more information.

What my clients are saying
Heather was lovely and a pleasure to work with. Heather was not only professional and thorough, but she promptly responded to late additions and made changes as required.

I'd certainly recommend Bowland Editorial. The service was professional and swift, the edited piece was a far superior product. Thank you.
