Mark My Words is led by director Monica Shepherd, BA, DipEdit: copywriter.jpg
Armed with a passion and natural instinct for language and words, Monica gained a degree in Linguistics from the University of Auckland in 2005. This not only provided a technical and structural analysis of language and grammar in the spoken and written form but also an appreciation of the social and cultural uses of communication. She discovered that having knowledge of the psychology behind language is important to understanding the best way to communicate and interpret words.

Monica has worked as an English language tutor and therefore recognises the difficulties in understanding the idiosyncrasies of the English language. Having studied French and Spanish at University (including study at the University of Salamanca in Spain, achieving advanced level in their language school and receiving the senior Spanish award at the University of Auckland) and having spent time living abroad in the Middle East, Monica knows the importance of correctness and audience-appropriate communication and also how cultural differences can sometimes interfere!

Monica also holds a diploma in Proofreading and Editing and appreciates the value of accuracy and consistency to maintain credibility and professionalism. Experience in corporate and legal companies - where accuracy is crucial - mean Monica has developed an eagle-eye for errors and discrepancies. Monica will polish your writing to help you communicate a clear, concise message to your target audience while still respecting your own unique style.
  
Possessing an open-mind, a broad range of interests, a diverse career background and wide travel experience helps Monica create copy for her niche subjects, but a commitment to continued learning also means she welcomes the challenge of writing on whatever topic you throw her way!
