About

Sunshine Edits, where your every word shines brighter!

Trading as Sunshine Edits, Robyn Veary has had a deep-seated love for the written word since a young age. From the enchanted realms and adventurous heroes of her childhood, her fascination with stories evolved into a lifelong passion for language and literature.

With a voracious appetite for learning, Robyn pursued her education in English, earning a degree that laid a solid foundation for her future endeavours. Her academic journey was marked by a relentless curiosity and a desire to master the intricacies of language. During her time at university, she not only honed her writing skills but also developed a keen eye for detail and a profound appreciation for the art of editing.

After graduating, Robyn’s career path led her to the classroom, where she spent several years as an English teacher. This experience not only deepened her understanding of language mechanics but also fuelled her passion for helping others express themselves clearly and effectively. She found immense joy in guiding her students through the nuances of grammar, punctuation, and style, laying the groundwork for her future role as a professional editor.

In 2015, Robyn made the courageous decision to transition from teaching to full-time editing, channelling her expertise and enthusiasm into creating Sunshine Edits. Her dedication to excellence and her commitment to continuous improvement led her to pursue further qualifications and certifications in text editing and proofreading. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge culminated in her becoming an accredited text editor in 2022 – a testament to her unwavering commitment to her craft.

Robyn’s unique blend of teaching experience and editing prowess has equipped her with the skills to connect with writers on a deeply personal level. She understands the challenges they face and is dedicated to helping them overcome linguistic hurdles to achieve their full potential. Her journey from a passionate reader to a respected editor is a testament to her love for the written word and her unwavering dedication to helping others bring their stories to life.`

Work Terms

I maintain a flexible schedule and can accommodate most time zones, ensuring timely communication and project updates. My typical working hours are generally 9 AM to 5 PM SAST (GMT+2), but I am open to discussing specific deadlines or urgent requirements when they arise.

Payment terms are negotiable based on the project scope and duration. I generally prefer milestone-based payments for larger projects and a 50% deposit before the commencement of smaller tasks, with the remainder due upon completion. Payment methods are discussed during the initial dialogue of your project to ensure a clear and mutually agreeable setup.

I prioritise clear and efficient communication. E-mail is my preferred method for detailed discussions, but I am happy to schedule video calls for more in-depth conversations as needed. Regular updates are provided to ensure alignment with your expectations.

Let's collaborate to bring your project to life with professionalism, precision, and attention to detail!
