I provide a proofreading and copy-editing service for all types of written material. Texts can be checked on screen or on paper using BS 5261 symbols, according to the client’s requirements.
I will tackle most subjects, but specialise in academic and general business texts, languages and theology.
I have a degree in German and Norwegian and also offer translation from these languages and proofreading of translations. I am a member of the the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading and the Federation of Small Businesses, and you can find me on LinkedIn
My clients include mainstream publishers, academic organisations, charities, businesses, journals and individuals – and anyone who needs to produce clear and accurate documents that are well written and presented. My rates are negotiable but always fair and competitive.
I also offer a service for authors.
