For Business

Marketing materials, in-house training manuals, and reports for internal and external publication all need to be of a professional standard that reflects well on your business.

I can help you achieve the professional polish that ensures clarity and consistency to your business communications. I'll ensure your documents are accurate, free from distracting errors, written in clear English and fit for purpose.

I have substantial experience working with multilingual writers for whom English is not their first or strongest language. If your company or organisation requires British or US English, for example, I will make sure that the spelling and punctuation are consistent throughout your document.

You might need a light-touch copyedit, a final proofread before publication or a more substantial copyedit. You might not know exactly what you need and that is something we will discuss so that you are completely happy with the service I am offering before I start.

Academic writing

I can proofread your thesis, dissertation or essay for:

· spelling, grammar and punctuation

· consistency and formatting of references and citations

· numbering and placement of tables and illustrations

I will alert you to any missing references and citations, as well as any formatting that needs your attention. I will also point out any wording that is confusing, such as where the word choice may not be what you intended.

For academic articles to be submitted for publication, I will provide all the above as well as more in-depth suggestions for rewording or sentence structure.

I can’t claim to be an expert in all subjects but I can claim a wide general knowledge, which grows each time I tackle a new topic, and will always communicate any doubts on technical terminology so that you can make the ultimate decision.

General Proofreading and Editing

Are you a self-publishing author with a book already edited, or someone setting up in business who needs their website or marketing text checked for consistency, accuracy and flow? I can help you before final publication or before you go live by checking:

· spellings, including typos, grammar and punctuation

· formatting and layout

· consistency of language

· flow and readability
