Highly coveted editor committed to producing work of the highest quality.
This is a going into business sale! For this month only I'll be offering competitive rates (half the regular rate). As I am new to Guru, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to write a quick review about the quality of my service upon completion.
Background predominately in academic assigments (high school, university, and graduate work). Experienced in a wide array of topics including but not limited to: biology, current affairs, conservation, international development, economics, colonialism, energy and the environment. Always interested in learning new things and expanding my horizons. Willing to consider projects outside traditional academia.
Skilled and cooperative communicator capable of maintaining the natural voice of the author while elevating the argument presented to its greatest possible form.
This editor only requires the deadline and any specifications pertaining to the assignment, if applicable. On the other hand, this is a client-based industry tailored to the needs of the individual customer and I am willing to consult and communicate throughout the process if necessary. Please feel free to highlight any weaknesses or struggles you perceive when soliciting my services. I am just as effective working independently as I am working as part of a team.
For those of you who are new to patronizing this type of service:
Proofreading implies a light intervention. It is grammar, spelling, and punctuation based.
Copy editing offers structural improvements. It is more thorough and presents greater gains. I favor copy editing and will suggest structual improvements separately upon return of project even if you solicit proofreading services.
No minimums.
The editor prefers the Oxford comma; use of the Oxford comma is negotiable upon request.
Revised edition will be returned to the client with visible edits awaiting approval of the author.
Please specify which style guide you are meant to follow if applicable.
I also teach English and can improve the written word regardless of your level of linguistic skill so long as the assignment is submitted in English.
