I am Patrick Bolttler, the founder of Bolt Editing, and I am deeply committed to precision, professionalism, and helping your words shine. My academic journey began at Rhodes University, where I earned degrees in Linguistics, English Literature, and Psychology. I later pursued Law at the University of Cape Town (UCT), equipping myself with a diverse skill set that allows me to approach every project with insight and expertise.
Before launching Bolt Editing, I owned and managed a language school in Cape Town and served as Head of the English Department at CBC St John’s. Over the years, I have built extensive experience proofreading and editing a wide range of materials, including business, legal, and scientific documents, as well as marketing content, articles, essays, theses, dissertations, and publications.
Beyond my professional work, I am an active member of the South African Council for English Education (SACEE). Each year, I set the Language Challenge, a national benchmark test for English language proficiency. My passion for language education is matched by my commitment to nature conservation, particularly the preservation of fynbos in the Kogelberg Biosphere.
Whether you need precise proofreading or detailed editing, I bring clarity, accuracy, and professionalism to every project. I look forward to helping your words make an impact.
Choosing to work with me means partnering with someone who values clarity, precision, and the art of communication. My personalised approach ensures that your unique needs are met with exceptional care and efficiency.
