Stressed over accept versus except? I pick you up where your spell-checker drops you off. My 10 years combined experience as a freelance writer, editor, linguist and grammar fanatic can help turn your masterpiece into a marvel. Quick, efficient and thorough is my triad to your writing success.
I possess an honours degree in Linguistics with areas of specialization in grammar, syntax and semantics. For the past 5 years I have been editing and proofreading academic theses, essays, dissertations and reports covering a wide range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, economics and political science, among many others.
Through my work with a collegiate multicultural centre, I have gained an appreciation for the unique challenges that face many non-native English writers. I am also conversant in French, Spanish, German and Italian, and therefore can detect subtle errors in translation. Armed with this awareness, I can help you clarify your meaning, reduce any tendency toward redundant phraseology and make suggestions with regard to effective writing style.
