How the work is made
It would be odd to fix AI-sounding copy with more AI. Agents do the one job they’re suited to here: checking that every term is used the same way. The reading, editing and rewriting are mine.
My hands
I read for rhythm, meaning and voice, then edit and rewrite by hand. Every change I make is one I can explain.
The agents
They check that names, terms and spellings stay consistent across every page, and flag where one idea has been called three different things.
Why you’re here
You have the pages, the emails, the deck. AI got you 80% of the way there in one afternoon, and the last 20% has been sitting there for three weeks, because something feels off.
Real writing is irregular. This has the even, metronome rhythm of something generated rather than spoken.
Three benefits, three adjectives, three clauses. It’s sound practice in moderation, but AI does it so often that readers feel the pattern before they reach the end of the sentence.
Elevate. Seamless. The reframe that tells you what something isn’t before telling you what it is. It sounds competent, and it could belong to any business in your category.
Your clients may not be able to say what’s wrong. They can still feel it.
The real question
Friends will tell you it’s fine, but they may not be your audience. Copywriters and editors will often tell you to rewrite it, because that’s how they’re paid.
The Diagnostic gives you an honest recommendation instead.
Step one
Send me your copy. I’ll read all of it and send back a written verdict on every page, with an honest recommendation about what to do next. Each page is marked one of three colours.
Sound copy. Perhaps a light polish, then publish it with confidence.
A fair amount of editing, but nothing a few hours won’t fix.
A full rewrite or restructure.
Most copy comes back mixed: a few greens, a couple of ambers, perhaps one red. Your quote is based on exactly what’s needed.
What you get
All in writing, and yours to keep whether or not you book anything afterwards.
Every page marked green, amber or red, with a short note on what’s behind the colour, so you can see exactly where the work sits.
Your copy rated against my Human Framework rubric: how well it does its job, how distinctive it sounds, and how well it holds together.
Costed options for editing, rewriting or restructuring, so you know what going ahead would involve before you commit.
The Diagnostic
Free
for up to 1,200 words, across a maximum of five pieces
A piece is a page, a slide or an email. Beyond that, it’s $50 for every additional 500 words or five pieces, whichever is greater. I’ll confirm the figure before anything is invoiced, and it’s credited in full against any project you book within 14 days.
Editing, rewriting and restructuring are quoted separately, based on what the Diagnostic shows. Most editing projects fall between $400 and $1,500.

Your editor
I’m a copywriter with an MA in linguistics, and I build AI tools myself, so I can pinpoint what’s off in copy written with Claude or ChatGPT.
Plenty of people can tell you something sounds like AI. Fewer can tell you why. The obvious tells, like the triples and the overstatement, are only the surface. Linguistics lets me name the patterns underneath, and correct them.
So I help your copy sound human again.
In their words
“She truly understood my vision and managed to capture my brand voice in a way that feels deeply aligned, intentional, and authentic to who I am and what I do.”
