Proofreading for businesses, academics and students

Errors in written text can be distracting for the reader, costly or even dangerous. Having a trained eye to polish your work can give you an edge over your competition.

With a background in engineering, I can help with a range of technical subjects.

My service includes sentence-level editing for grammar and flow, proofreading and, particularly for non-native English speakers, language support whereby I provide comments to help you to improve your writing. I can also edit references and format your manuscript to comply with journal guidelines, if required.

I provide a proofreading service for students at a reduced rate. Student clients must obtain permission from their supervisor before proceeding, to ensure that the service I provide is ethical. I will only proofread for language and will not edit the actual content. The work will always remain that of the student.

Proofreading is the final quality check in the traditional publishing process. It involves checking and correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, typography, formatting and layout, as well as removing ambiguity, and ensuring consistency, accuracy and appropriate tone. This list is far from exhaustive and I will always work closely with you to provide a service tailored to your needs.
