My name is Maureen Lee and Cushion Editing Services is my company. The services I provide include copy editing, structural editing, proofreading and writing.

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 any writing in English, including fiction, memoirs, historical works, websites, reports, family histories, training material, curricula, transcripts and indexes.

I look forward to working with you.
