Here at Pure Prose we have two main goals. First, we want to help writers, academics, higher degree students and business owners to communicate their ideas clearly and effectively. We understand that having your work edited by another, whether it's a dream novel or a business report, can be an anxious time. At Pure Prose, we aim to work with you to polish your prose, revise your report, or check your chapter.
Pure Prose's proofreading and editing services can be utilised for documents from just a few pages, such as newsletters, marketing brochures, restaurant menus or application forms, to longer texts including personal memoirs, novels, non-fiction books and PhD theses.*
Second, you have done all that hard but exciting work of tracing your family history. You have all the bits and pieces of information, from birth certificates to newspaper clippings to photographs. How can you put it all together? We can help you organise your family history research into a narrative text for everyone to enjoy and appreciate all that you have achieved.
Pure Prose is owned and run by Christine de Matos. With over 30 years of experience as an historian, university lecturer, writer and journal editor, Christine knows both the editing and authoring sides of the publishing world.
