I’m an Australian editor with a global client base (I work in UK and US English). I have worked with indie authors who are top sellers on Amazon and some traditionally published authors. I love guiding new authors, but I also work with more established authors. - 15+ years working for non-fiction publishing houses in Sydney and London in-house and freelance - 10 years line/copy editing and developmental editing on many, many fiction titles. I have samples of my work in the following: Fiction: literary, genre: comic, thrillers, fantasy (including UF, YA, NA), sci-fi, dark romance, paranormal, time travel, historical Non-fiction: business, self-help, memoirs, academic, travel I love helping authors perfect their voice and shape their stories.

I’m an American copy editor and writer splitting my time between the US and the Alps of Haute-Provence in France. My expertise as an editor is in nonfiction, and my clients look to me for guidance on book-length manuscripts, white papers, journal articles, press releases, statements of purpose, cover letters, grant proposals, personal essays, newsletters, blog copy, and website content. I have particular experience working with texts that have been translated or written by non-native speakers of English. I've got a fine eye for punctuation problems and grammar mistakes, and a keen ear for awkwardness and usage issues. Along with my well-thumbed reference books I bring a writer's instincts to the table—both in terms of the flow of the prose and in terms of my approach to the client as a fellow writer with a voice to be respected, whatever coaching and coaxing I might give. If I point out a problem, I take the time to propose an elegant solution. My BA from Cornell University is in literature and writing, and I have a copyediting professional degree from the University of Chicago's Graham School.

As a native French speaker I propose my skills for translations and proofreading jobs. I am serious and reliable. As I worked for 8 years in different laboratories, my scientific background is very useful for the translation of scientific documents. I speak Bulgarian and English.

Do you need a document corrected or rewritten to the highest professional standard? My vocation is to transform mediocre or opaque writing into engaging, crystal-clear English. Articles, reports, letters, technical or legal documentation (including from an original in French) – I will be delighted to get your document right up to scratch. As an editor, copywriter, proofreader, and translator, I have over a decade's experience at the highest level. I have worked for a prestigious news publication, research institutions, and several non-profits. My freelance translations have appeared in The Guardian, The Financial Times, and a range of specialist journals. I am of course happy to point to samples of my work on request.

Experienced English editor and proofreader (US and UK English) and French to English translator. Professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP),UK. Editing and proofreading: I check line by line, for grammatical, spelling and typographical errors; incorrect word usage, and inconsistencies. For academic work, I cross-check text notes, footnotes, references, and bibliography. I will ensure that illustrations, figures and charts match the text, and that chapter and page headings, margins, line spacing, font and page numbers are consistent with the style chosen. I also have considerable experience editing websites and texts written by writers whose native language is not English. Translation: I deliver accuracy as well as text that flows idiomatically. I have translated a wide range of subjects: websites, legal, and medical documents, audits, marketing and publicity material, academic essays and articles, as well as biography and fiction.
