My name is Maureen Lee and I am an editor, copy editor, and proofreader. Cushion Editing Services is my company.

For over 20 years I worked full-time as an editor at the New Zealand Parliament, editing text on a wide range of subjects. My duties included copy editing, proofreading, fact-checking and checking formatting. I developed editing style, wrote style guides and training material, and trained people to be editors.

I can quickly get to grips with any subject so that I can edit copy on it.

I edit and proofread any writing in English, including websites, reports, fiction, memoirs, family histories, training material, curricula, transcripts and indexes.

I look forward to working with you.

English degree from the University of Auckland.

Qualified tutor of English as a second language.

Experienced editor of text for people whose first language is not English.

Experienced editor of text that includes words and phrases in Te Reo.
