I’ve got your content covered
My clients are experts who need help to improve their writing to get the results they need. They want professional or plain language documents that get their message across.
I work with business, government and independent clients, and help them to look at their writing from their readers' point of view. I can work in most sectors, and cover business and finance, agriculture, education, health, climate and the environment, and general subjects.
I always strive to ensure my clients are happy with the work I do for them, and many clients use my service regularly or refer me on to others. I work with clients from around the world.

Some of my work
A lot of my work is confidential, but here are some recent reports and books I've worked on.
What my clients say about my work
"We've used Clearlingo a few times to check our strategy documents and induction booklets. Marja is quick to respond and always communicates timelines clearly.
Her ability to jump in last minute and deliver high-quality work has been essential for our team to meet our goals.”
— Māori Strategy Team, City Council"I found Marja professional and easy to work with. She truly elevated my writing, helping me to consider elements from the reader's perspective to ensure my messages got across in the most impactful way. I would both work with her again and recommend her to others."
— Daniejela Armitage | Nourish & Tempt"Marja took on my book project, made the process seamless and took my concerns away by creating the flow and structure to enable me to take it to the next stage (publishing) without compromising the theme I wanted to achieve. She simply got it. The process was very professional and structured.
During the various editing stages, Marja created a platform to enable my feelings, opinions and thoughts to be expressed so as not to lose what I wanted to achieve. I certainly recommend Marja for your own book editing."
— Paul Nielsen, business book"Marja reliably proofread the Wonkhe Monday Briefing every week for nearly ten years. With tens of thousands of loyal readers, the briefing is a high profile part of the UK higher education landscape, and knowing that Marja was looking in before we sent it every week gave us peace of mind.
Our commitment to quality and consistency has been an important factor in the way that we have built our audience over the years, and Marja’s work has been key in establishing that."
— Mark Leach | Editor-in-Chief, Wonkhe"I found Marja at Clearlingo online and asked if she could assist with a last-minute proofread before finalising a brochure for printing. She was helpful from the get-go, and her assistance impressed me as she delivered a professionally corrected, marked-up PDF within the timeframe. Marja had also picked up on many things that the team (and Grammarly) had overlooked. I would certainly recommend Marja's services and look forward to working with her again."
— Liz Webb | LW Creative"Marja did an outstanding job editing and proofreading my application. She improved the clarity of my writing while maintaining the original meaning, making it more professional and easy to follow. Her attention to detail, prompt communication, and understanding of my needs made the process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate her support and expertise. If you’re looking for high-quality editing services, I highly recommend Marja. She was kind, efficient, and delivered excellent results.”
— Ahmed Moustafa, non-fiction document"Marja has been a fantastic editor for my personal project. She is very approachable, clear in her process, and there were no hidden costs. I particularly enjoyed her method of simplifying complex ideas to ensure that the content is well-received and understood. Her helpful feedback greatly improved my manuscript's message and storytelling. I couldn't ask for more; Marja has been the editor I needed for my work, and I highly recommend her for any effective business writing."
— Max Bessone, Creative consultant“We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Marja on a very special cookbook project. Her attention to detail and meticulous skills have made a significant impact on our book. Marja's ability to spot errors & enhance the overall flow of the book, while preserving our voice and that of our contributors was truly remarkable. She has been a pleasure to work with, delivering edits promptly and communicating efficiently. Marja has gone above and beyond to answer questions and act as a guiding hand (sometimes on matters not directly linked to editing and proofreading). I wholeheartedly recommend Marja!”
— Nadia Key | Husk & Honey"Marja was highly flexible to accommodate with my unusual circumstance, and the fact that the book had already been edited in German once.
Her editing and proofreading is highly accurate, precise and professional. I couldn't imagine a thing to escape her. Her work was very transparent as she always kept me up to date (which I appreciated a lot). I would absolutely work with her again."
— Silke Nol, non-fiction book
