I'm a bilingual editor and proofreader with nearly 10 years of experience helping clients produce coherent, error-free documents. My experience covers personal, business and technical texts, including CVs/résumés, cover letters, application essays, marketing collateral, white papers, and training manuals. I offer the following services: Technical texts Being an engineer by training, science and technology-related texts are a speciality of mine. I have the skills and knowledge to make sure your journal article, dissertation, or any other technical document is clear, accurate, and complies with formatting and style guidelines, as I’ve done for myself and my clients in the past. I’m familiar with all the major citation styles, including APA, MLA, and IEEE, and have had my research published in an engineering journal and presented at academic conferences. Business documents I’ve edited and proofread a wide range of business documents in a variety of sectors, including internal communications, client presentations, white papers, marketing materials, web content, and training manuals. Some of my best work has been on long-term, policy-informing documents for clients like UN Women and Arup. CVs/résumés, cover letters, and personal essays If you’re a jobseeker or university applicant, I can make sure your CV/résumé, cover letter, or personal essay reads perfectly and presents the best case for your admission. My clients have gone on to win offers from such institutions as the NHS and University College London. My services range from quick grammar fixes to thorough, word-by-word checks for sense, fluency, and style. Depending on your needs, I can keep my edits to a minimum or rewrite portions of the text. If it’s just formatting you need help with, I can make sure your document complies with any template or style guide. Here are just some examples of the types of documents I can proofread/edit: • CVs/résumés • Cover letters • Application/personal essays • Web content (e.g. blogs, audio/video transcripts) • Marketing collateral • Presentations • White papers • Training manuals • Journal articles • Technical reports • Master’s theses I know there are many freelancers on Upwork offering to edit or proofread your documents, but what you get with me is the assurance that your text will be seen to by an expert with a proven track record and an excellent grasp of the language. Please have a look at my feedback and testimonials below to see what some of my clients have said about my work. As a writer, I know how difficult it is to judge the quality of your own writing. If you need help making sure your text is clear, concise, and consistent, don’t hesitate to contact me.
