“Write drunk; edit sober.”
– (not) Ernest Hemingway
The quote above was wrongly attributed to Ernest Hemingway. Many people, including William Faulkner according to “Papa” Hemingway, have no problem with the first part. The second part, well…
The problem: feeding the content monster
Today’s lawyers are under pressure to generate “content”, including articles for company blogs, social media, case studies, journal pieces etc.
And that’s before you even get to your “bread and butter” work of briefs, letters, legal advice and other client work.
All this leads to crushing demand. And it’s not something that AI can help with. Your name, and reputation, means more than to trust it.
So how can you create flawless, professional, and persuasive content while finding time to sleep at night?
The solution: working with an editor/ proofreader
The answer is to collaborate with a proofreader and/or editor. Every good writer has one, because there’s no better way to improve your own writing than have someone else review it.
If you are:
• looking for someone with a meticulous eye to catch every mistake and refine every sentence
• based in the USA or UK
then consider hiring me, Stephen Higham, for your editing and proofreading needs.
Why choose me to edit and proofread your content
Precision and clarity matter to you. Every word counts and even the smallest error can have significant consequences.
I know from my own experience how you feel because, as you can see on my About page, before becoming a marketing consultant I was a qualified solicitor partner (attorney) and practised law in a medium-sized firm for 18 years. During that time, I learned, and taught others about, the importance of clear and error-free legal writing.

What if you don’t have the time or inclination to create content?
“You shouldn’t write if you can’t write.”
– Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway is believed to have told that to an aspiring writer. If you’re stuck in a rut as well, then consider my other services, which include legal content production, copywriting, ghost writing, and social media.
