Excellent English Proofreading and Grammar Specialist

I have a Bachelors degree in English Writing Studies, and I am a current Master of Arts student in Sociology. I offer proofreading and editing services to postgraduate students at the University of Auckland - New Zealand's top university. I am a native English speaker. I specialise in academic writing, such as essays, dissertations, and theses, but I am happy to work on a range of documents.

Skills I offer:
- 4 years of experience editing and proofreading academic texts, CVs and cover letters
- Immaculate English grammar, punctuation and spelling
- Consistency and accuracy
- Critical attention to detail
- An analytical approach
- Expertise in logical and coherent arguments
- Passion for and a dedication to the written word
- Efficient work flow and clear communication
- Daily MS Office experience, including Track Changes
- APA, MLA and Chicago styles

With my background in Writing Studies, I appreciate working with text beyond a simple surface reading. I am naturally attuned to textual inconsistencies, and my experience as a postgraduate student has given me a sound understanding of quality academic writing. I provide:
1. Basic proofreading and error-checking - spelling, grammar, punctuation, and minor typographical inconsistencies.
2. Copy editing/light structural editing - proofreading plus comments on word choice, language consistency, and sentence structure.
3. Substantive content editing - proofreading and light editing plus comments on overall structure and development.
