    I'll go the last mile for my clients! (But I will finish your project faster than I can run—promise!)

    Welcome! I’m Iris Sutcliffe, and I’ve been an editor and publishing expert since 1996 (and lifelong barbecue lover, bird watcher, slow runner, and backyard chicken wrangler).

    As print media evolves beyond the traditional ink-on-paper format, I’m constantly adapting and expanding my editorial skills right along with it.

    • Electronic manuscripts
    • Online content
    • Website editing and creation
    • E-book production

    My editing style was once compared to a butter knife: I perfect your manuscript without letting the reader know that an editor was even in the same room as the text. As your editor, I will respect your writing voice and style and help you make your work the best it can be.

    My experience spans a wide range of subjects and formats:

    • Websites: TV networks, online magazines, and more (usually working in client’s CMS)
    • Academic Textbooks & Papers: Law, management, education, and more
    • Consumer, Trade & Custom Magazines: Fashion, beauty, health, cooking, parenting, celebrity, design, sports, travel, and more
    • Corporate & Nonprofit: In-house communications, design lookbooks, training manuals, financial reports, white papers
    • Self-publishing Authors
    • Church Bulletins & Newsletters
    • Journal Articles

    My author queries are respectful and nonjudgmental, because I understand that writing can be a difficult and emotional process. My job is to help with the technical aspects of grammar, style, and logic, leaving you free to focus on the creative aspects of writing.

    Hiring an Editor Will Save You “Dallors” in the Long Run

    In an economy like this, the last thing you can afford is to deliver content that’s poorly written or filled with errors and typos. It reflects negatively upon your company in this very competitive market. There’s no need to skimp on editing your content when you can outsource it to my affordable North Carolina office!
