About
“Why did the Apostrophe Protection Society not have a militant wing? Could I start one? Where do you get balaclavas?”
― Lynne Truss
Brontë Seidel, and associate John O’Meara (see below), are experienced professional writers and editors. We work fast and get it right first time, saving you money.
Brontë Seidel
Brontë has a background in performance, ABC Radio production, adult education, government and private enterprise communications.
Her early years in music postponed the life of words her name predetermined. Resistance was futile.
Brontë thrives on a diet of ABC Radio National, news and opinion, stationery stores, eloquent British comedians and intellectuals, and Scandinavian crime fiction. She also loves converting convoluted guff into meaningful communication, and converting dry facts into engaging stories. She is a retro pedant but draws the line at hanging from the ceiling to illuminate anything.
Brontë is a full member of Editors Victoria and operates from her home office in Melbourne.
John O’Meara
John has a background in book publishing, magazines, newspaper production and corporate writing and editing, so he knows how to polish words and crank out pages.
He has encountered and solved most problems in print and digital publishing. He has a deep loathing of Microsoft Word, loves InDesign, gets excited by well-structured PDFs and can wrestle 1000-page projects through a database, onto the press or the web or into an ebook.
John is an unusual combination of tabloid mongrel, mandarin, tech-head and production guru.
