Our clients are at the heart of everything we do; they are the reason we setup The Yorkshire Editor all those years ago, our daily driving force, and our constant inspiration.
That’s why we like to give back to our clients as much and as often as we can as our way of saying thank you. From free, no obligation trials to competitions–it’s the definition of inclusivity!–literally anyone can enter and be in with a chance of winning. Will you be our next winner?
Hi, I’m Katie Hatfield. I started out my career as a teacher with a degree or two under my belt, later moving into copywriting for a marketing company which I quickly found I had a knack for. Whilst doing this, I saw that many people enjoyed writing, loved to tell their stories, and had the most incredibly creative minds. However, they either lacked confidence, didn’t give their writing what it deserved due to their lack of editing/proofreading pre-publication, or never finished something with great potential. This made me think…! What if I could alter this and turn things around, changing the incomplete task into the complete? It’s not every day you get to help someone tick something off their Bucket List, right?!
So, I put those multiple degrees in Education to good use, combined them with professional qualifications from Chapterhouse at Imperial College, London, in proofreading and editing, and I setup The Yorkshire Editor just shy of a decade ago now. Wow! What a ride it has been! From copywriting for corporate giants like Amazon and Walmart, to line editing books for private clients before they go to publishers, to proofreading and fact-checking puzzles for the national papers, no two days are ever the same and I wouldn’t change my job for the world!
Founder of The Yorkshire Editor
At The Yorkshire Editor, we provide one-on-one services for each and every client so that every piece of writing and each and every writer get all the attention they deserve. But what else do we provide as part of our service? Here’s what our past clients have said about us and their reasons for choosing us:
We are professionals, always providing a professional service and only ever work on one project at a time. Therefore, we only ever provide the very best service to the highest of standard. We do not stop until we are happy that we have completed our jobs to the very best of our abilities.
We fit in around our clients, instead of requiring them to fit in with us like the majority of other businesses. If you want to talk to us about your book at 6am, ring us for a chat. If you have concerns about your web content, we will meet you an hour away in a different city for a coffee and a catch up, just to put your mind at ease. Want to put a new plan to us – email us any time…
We don’t just work the hours we charge for – we work the hours we charge for in your contract…and then we finish your project. These things always take longer than planned, but we would never dream of charging you more! It is more important to us that we get things right, than we charge the earth!
We are highly trained, highly skilled and highly educated professionals – we know what we are doing and we do it well!
We work on one project at a time because we care! We don’t want to be distracted, spread too thin or spend hours multitasking each day – we want to work on one project at a time and make it perfect! We know that you have poured blood, sweat and tears (sometime quite literally!) into your projects and they often end up meaning just as much to us as they do to you – we care about you and your writings in a way that no big company could because we have direct contact with you and we LOVE that!
Our services are all carried out by a human. That’s right, there’s no robots and no AI used here – actually, we hate it! And our favourite thing to tell clients is that our services are not limited. So if you don’t see a service that you require on our Services List, just get in touch and tell us what you need – we will be sure to help you out the best we can…
As a small business, feedback from our clients means an enormous amount to us. It helps us to grow, not only as individuals but as a business, too. We work hard to create a personal service for each and every client, no matter how big or small the job is, and we endeavour to ensure that they feel they have received the service they deserve.
