I am an extremely skilled proofreader and editing/grammar specialist who will provide any such related service to you quickly, accurately and efficiently. I have a BA (distinction) in History, which provided me with an excellent base knowledge of writing, editing, proofreading and researching. I have spent the last few years in Europe where I honed my skills teaching English in France and editing and proofreading large legal documents for a major English law firm. To teach a language is to truly understand its grammatical structure, which is essential for good editing. I also speak French fluently, which adds to my understanding of language in general. My time editing for the law firm was also a great learning experience in that I was dealing with strict deadlines and accuracy was paramount.
Modern methods of communication have weakened general grammatical skills. Having errors in documents - whether they be spelling, grammatical or simply bad or ineffective writing - interferes with the message that is trying to be communicated. It breaks the reader's concentration and lowers the reader's perception of the writer and/or the message. I will provide any assistance necessary to ensure that your written communication is as effective and error free as possible.
