About

Experienced Proofreader and Copy Editor | Academic, Technical, Business

I'm a meticulous writer, copy editor and proofreader with over 7 years of experience. I've got a flexible, patient and rigorous approach. I have spent most of my professional career in the legal, publishing and academic professions, covering everything from dissertations, to policy briefs, books and SEO optimised blog posts.

I've also dipped into content and technical writing, including web copy.

Other areas I work in include politics/civics, culture, media, and the creative arts across Europe and the Americas. I edit at a high speed and take a meticulous and thorough approach to my work.

As a native English speaker from London, and with my background and education in history, politics and law, I have an edge when it comes to polishing your language and making sure your words get results.

I value comprehensive planning and excellent communication, whether I am working with a self-publishing author or a company. I always curate my knowledge and process based on the individual text and your requirements.

Here's what I offer:

- I can help improve your English, check your grammar, and elevate the facility and elegance of your language.

- My service is highly personalised - I'll work with you and discuss your individual requirements, including post-completion follow ups. If you need help restructuring your arguments or content, or expanding on your research, I've got you.

- I'm available to share progress and talk or chat throughout the process to incorporate any tweaks or adjustments to make sure you get the best.

As well as working as a freelancer, been a humanitarian worker, legal officer, researcher, tutor, and written/edited a children's book in my past life. I have a degree from Oxford in History & Politics, a Graduate Diploma in Law, and a PhD from Cambridge.

Work Terms

Flexible working times (according to time zones). My hourly rate is £40.
