Welcome and ようこそ to my page!
Meticulous
I am a qualified and experienced proofreader with Professional Membership of CIEP, the main UK-based standards body for editing and proofreading. I will remove all grammatical, wording, and minor formatting errors from your text and ensure a consistent style while retaining your voice. Very few errors get past me! I can also suggest improvements to wording where necessary.
Holistic
I don’t just check the words, punctuation, and style. My copyediting service also looks at the bigger picture—how the narrative hangs together—and includes a basic fact check, giving you peace of mind that your work is accurate and reads well.
Stress-free
Working with me is stress-free and even enjoyable! If required, we can start with a video meeting to discuss your needs and answer your queries. I keep you fully informed of my progress while working on your document and also check that you have correctly incorporated any suggested changes.
Academic services: I have edited thousands of research papers on chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, computing, philosophy, and the social sciences, some of which have been published in the world’s most prestigious journals, such as Science and Nature. Satisfied customers include a Nobel Prize Winner.
General non-fiction: I also copyedit and proofread general non-fiction. Recent copyediting jobs include a non-fiction book for one of the Big Five publishers in the UK, and proofreading jobs include the ESG report of a Japanese multinational, policy documents for a major UK trade organization, a book on nature, and articles by an environmental campaigner. See here for a list of some of the books I have worked on.
Fiction: I also proofread fiction. I was recently lucky enough to work on a new imprint of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. See here for an article on what that involved.
