Helping with your business and personal writing needs
Welcome to Writing Allsorts!
We love to help in any way we can but especially with writing, editing and proofreading. Pretty simple!
We’re an international organisation with offices in Blenheim, New Zealand and Bonita, California, USA.
Writing Allsorts is predominantly about writing, editing and proofreading but we’re business owners too. So we target two areas – corporate to small-medium businesses, and authors.
See our list of what we offer below…
We edit and proofread to ensure your writing is clear, tight and easily understood by your audience.
A list of what areas we can help you with can be found here.
Whether you’re an established author or a novice, we can help you polish your manuscript so that it’s ready for the next step whether your goal is to be traditionally published or self-published.

So, you want to be a writer but you have no idea where to start, what to do, how to do it, or really what your story is about? That means you pretty much look like this guy. Lost, no idea where he’s at, where he’s going, who to ask for help or even what … Continue reading Writing Demystified

I have just posted my completed manuscript off to the digital editor and in doing so, instead of being highly excited and jumping for joy, I experienced a deep emotional wrenching that had me crying into my hands. I wasn’t sure if it was because I was just exhausted from the nearly two-year process or it was because I was handing something precious, a part of my heart and soul to the world to pass judgement on. However, I did have the comfort in knowing that this manuscript was the best it could be and part of this I have to thank Writing Allsorts. Robyn and Bob completed the proofreading and the results were excellent, despite my requesting a very tight timeframe. They added suggestions, offered advice and most importantly, gave me support at a time when I was wobbly and losing confidence. I submitted a manuscript which looks professional, has been assessed by experts and I am one very gratified author. Chris Stuart. “For Reasons of their Own.”
“Robyn provided my novel The Promise with the finishing polish. She was professional to deal with and delivered exactly when and what she said she would for an excellent and competitive price point. I have no hesitation in recommending her services.”
Bob and Robyn were a great addition to our student’s development as writers. Not only did they provide meaningful feedback for student writers during our mid-year jury, but they also gave a workshop about picking topics when the school was doing distance learning [during the pandemic]. I can’t wait to have them back next year.
