I am a university instructor and professional writer with over 35 years of experience in academic English, scholarly editing, and publication preparation. I help students, researchers, and professionals produce clear, rigorous, and publication-ready writing. My strengths include: • Academic editing and proofreading (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard) • Structural revision and argument development • Dissertation and thesis refinement • Journal article preparation and reviewer response editing • Literature reviews and research clarity • ESL academic writing support • Clarity, coherence, and scholarly tone enhancement I specialize in strengthening arguments, refining structure, and elevating language while preserving the author’s voice. My approach goes beyond surface correction — I focus on logic, flow, precision, and academic credibility. Clients work with me when accuracy, authority, and polish matter. Whether you need detailed developmental feedback or meticulous line editing, I deliver thoughtful, confidential, and deadline-driven support.

I have a PhD and have taught at several major research universities, served on thesis committees, and launched a program to support graduate students through their journeys. Now I'm happy to help you with your academic writing and to complete your thesis or dissertation. Arrange a free consultation to ask questions and find out how I can assist with: • Academic English, including proofreading to correct spelling, grammar and punctuation • Improving your AI-generated drafts to ensure authenticity and a voice that's your own • Complying with your university’s style guide (e.g., APA7, Chicago, Harvard, etc.) • Structuring your chapters, and ensuring there is narrative flow • Organizing your Literature Review • Designing your Methodology • Producing a Thematic Analysis and writing up your Results and Discussion In my role as an academic editor and writing coach, I work with two types of clients: 1. PhD and Master's degree students who need support in completing their thesis. 2. Researchers who need assistance with journal articles and reports for publication. Although there are many similarities in the work, since both require a strong knowledge of academic writing, understanding of scholarly standards, and commitment to excellence and rigor, there are some differences as outlined below. 1. PhD or Master's Students Completing a PhD or Master’s degree is difficult enough at the best of times. So, as well as editing manuscripts to meet the university's expectations, I also specialize in working with graduate students who have run into extra challenges along the way. I can help if you’re: • Lost and stuck because you don’t understand what your supervisor wants • Unclear about how to improve the structure or narrative flow of your thesis or dissertation • Not sure how to write a Literature Review • Conducting a specialized technical or medical Systematic Literature Review • Confused about why you need a Theoretical Framework (and what is that anyway??) • Wondering what to put into your Introduction, or Conclusion • Mixing up your Methodology with your Findings and Discussion • Recovering from an illness or a personal loss and need help re-engaging with your studies • Still at the proposal stage and trying to understand what's needed for a PhD or Master's 2. Researchers and Report Writers If you are an individual researchers, or a member of a research team, and are subject matter experts who need to present their findings to meet the highest standards. I can assist by: • Proofreading to improve the English so that the research is clearly explained • Editing documents to follow academic protocols for format and structure • Applying the style guide preferences (APA, Chicago, AMA, etc.) of particular scholarly journals • Ensuring that reports or proposals are written to suit the readership • Checking that articles and reports have the expected sections and subsections • Verifying that proposals to government agencies are comprehensive. Whether you are a student, a researcher or a faculty member, I invite you to find out more in a free 10-minute introductory Zoom Call. Ask questions, tell me more about your study, find out how I can help. Please check the positive feedback from my many satisfied clients, and then get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
