Testimonials from happy customers
UNESCO-IIEP
‘Philippa is responsive and diligent. When copy editing a long report on the education system in North Macedonia, she worked to our instructions, and her attention to detail was greatly appreciated.’
Groupe Luminess
‘Our texts written by non-native English speakers for the European Banking Authority require very thorough revision. In addition to the quality of her proofreading and editing, she was highly responsive to requests and ensured on-time delivery. This is very important to our company.’
I’m Philippa Hammond, a freelance editor, content writer and translator who’s worked with purpose-driven organisations for 20+ years.
Based in West Sussex in the UK, clients from all over the world come to me when they have no internal capacity and need a communications specialist they can rely on. Or when online and AI tools fail to capture the essence and accuracy of the message, the data or the stories that drive change.
If you’re a subject expert, research institute, think-tank, NGO, non-profit or consultancy working on issues that matter, I can help you communicate with precision.
