Copy editing and proofreading
Want to present your best words to the world? I’m here to help them glow.
Having your work professionally edited demonstrates your commitment to quality. Whatever your content and whatever your form, I’ll review your text for clarity, accuracy, consistency, and flow. My eagle eye is trained on detail – I attend meticulously to mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and syntax so you don’t have to – and I offer stylistic suggestions for readability as well. Depending on your needs, I can also assist with fact-checking and/or style guide adherence. I know that every project has its own considerations and will adapt my services to your requirements; I aim for excellence while respecting your unique voice.
For over fifteen years, I have offered publishers, universities, businesses, and individuals the thorough polish of a keen copy editor and the gentle shine of a painstaking proofreader. I work with native and non-native speakers and am comfortable with British and American English. In addition, I am experienced in accommodating clients who are dyslexic or neurodivergent. As for content, I’ve worked on everything from articles on medieval history to dissertations on astrophysics; interviews with fashion designers in Berlin to brochures for law firms in Reykjavík; and personal statements by visual artists to action plans by environmental consultants. What’s your niche area of expertise? Surprise me with your text and your passion – I’m always up for learning something new!
