Adam Finlay AE
IPEd Accredited Editor
MA (Communications)
Writefish is me, Adam Finlay. I’ve been working with words for several decades, including for more than 14 years as an independent editor. I’ve covered everything from reports, policies and manuals to websites, books, academic publications, style guides and technical documentation.
I have supported the Institute of Professional Editors accreditation scheme as a member of the exam team for the last 5 exams. Since 2022 I’ve also been working with the Victorian Department of Parliamentary Services in their Hansard team, helping to create the public record of parliamentary proceedings.
The way we make content has changed
Modern content tools can help with research, drafting, rewriting, summarising and dozens of other tasks. I use them too, but how do we now know when something is wrong? This requires intuitive editing experience and an eye for detail. My expertise is in clear communication and meticulous style, sense and fact checking.
I’m intentionally low key on social media, so if you like what you read here, just get in touch directly.
