Welcome to my home on the web. My name is Nick Peers, and since 1994 I’ve been a professional writer, editor and sub. I started out as Disk Editor on ST Format, rose through the ranks across a range of magazines at Future Publishing to become Editor on PC Answers and then left in 2003 to pursue a career as a self-employed writer, sub and editor for hire. More than 30 years later, and I’m still somehow making a living from this rewarding career.

I’ve written for dozens of digital, print and online titles and clients worldwide across a broad range of subjects. My specialties include computing, technology and history, but I’ve also written extensively across subjects as varied as genealogy, the environment and countryside, home energy, football and education.

I’ve also worked on projects for major corporations such as Vodafone, Dell, Experian and Currys PC World. I’ve also been employed as a writer, editor and project manager for a social media training company, helping to develop course outlines, prospectuses, playbooks and even devise an entire course – on TikTok – from scratch.

For the past six years, I’ve also been involved in translating a range of bookazines – on history, health and science – from Danish, Norwegian and Swedish into English for Bonnier AG through Erak Globalworks. My team and I provide a full service: not only do we machine-translate articles, we fact-check and rewrite for clarity and style, source original English quotations where necessary and place the finished content back on the page using Adobe InDesign before returning it to the publisher, ready for printing.

In parallel with my work for Erak Globalworks, I’ve continued to write for a range of clients, from Mac Format, Computeractive and Who Do You Think You Are? Magazines to contributing numerous guides to uSwitch’s Energy hub. I’ve also recently contributed articles on cybersecurity to ThreatLocker’s in-house Frontline magazine.

I pride myself on writing clean, accessible copy that minimises jargon and doublespeak in favour of plain English. I’m also an experienced sub, proofreader and editor, with a track record of success stretching back decades.
