In a word, I’ll edit your scientific, academic or technical document. I won’t stop at a spelling and grammar check, but ensure it reads and sounds right. I’ll indicate points needing discussion or clarification. I am happy to consult with you to make sure it satisfies the rigorous standards demanded by a professional journal. I meet deadlines.
I have a conscientious and responsible approach to the work. For me, editing is not about whipping a text into shape and underlining words in red. It’s about the collaboration required to achieve the best results. Good editing means collaboration; it’s this feature that I enjoy most.
I’m well versed in working over the internet. However, it would be unrealistic to send a text without any initial contact. Editing requires confidence, you need to feel comfortable about the project beforehand. Many articles are personal and there are security issues to consider. Get in touch so we can begin discussing the document!
