Hello and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Lynette (Lyn) Crowley, and I am the owner and operator of Mackenzie Editing and Secretarial Services.
When I started my business in 2000, I offered secretarial services only such as typing and formatting Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and simple Excel databases. But I have always loved creating reader-friendly material to help people convey what they intend without the possibility of any [embarrassing] ambiguities. So, to this end, I qualified as a copy-editor and proofreader (achieving a distinction and high distinctions) and became proficient in working with document styles. This then allowed me to add ‘Editing’ to my business name and offer clients a combination of copy-editing, proofreading and secretarial services.
My background is working for CEOs, directors and general managers in various industries including mining/energy and publishing.
I run my business from home in a quiet neighbourhood, and I have two much-loved, small Maltese dogs who keep me company.
The way I run my business is to place myself in my client’s shoes, and this keeps me on track to provide quality outcomes. I am strict with myself regarding integrity and work to provide the best possible product and experience for my clients.
As a small business owner, my clients’ needs are of the utmost importance, and I am 100% committed to meeting those needs.
