Creative copy-editor and meticulous proofreader

I have more than 12 years' ongoing experience proofreading medical textbooks for global science publisher, Elsevier, freelancing while I held full time office roles in Sydney. Now that I am semi-retired in Spain, I work as a copy-editor and proofreader of a vast variety of documents in English, both fiction and non-fiction. I have a BA (Hons) in English Literature and a Postgraduate Diploma in Librarianship.

I will provide you with high quality editorial services; I strive to improve and enhance the impact of your writing, whatever the genre or style. I will preserve your voice while I can revise your content to read smoothly and free from errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, lexical choice, repetition and consistency. As a creative copy-editor, I will rework the text where necessary to improve flow and readability in natural, native English. I will draw your attention to, or revise, any issues of meaning or logic in your writing so that it is clear and understandable to your readers.

Allow me to return to you edited documents that are correct, appealing and that deliver your messages, whether they be creative or informative.

Work Terms

I work full time hours and will respond to your messages promptly. My rate is $0.019 per word for copy-editing and proofreading, negotiable. I will discuss deadlines with you and make every effort to accommodate your project in my schedule.
