The following is a review from a recent client, found below under "testimonials": "Cecilia is an excellent proofreader/copy editor. She has worked on several projects for me and has excelled at every assignment. She is versatile in that she is a grammar expert in both English & Spanish and can edit formally or casually if preferred. She is an excellent communicator, understands and follows directions, and has always finished projects on time (if not ahead of schedule). Sometimes I request that she also report back on comprehension of my message and she is really good at that too, oftentimes offering suggestions on how my copy can be more concise or clear. She continues to exceed expectations." Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am an experienced, native English-speaking proofreader and editor from the United States, currently spending most of my time in the Dominican Republic. I enjoy working with texts of all types, from blog posts to grant applications to books. I can not only ensure that your texts are grammatically correct and error-free, but I can also make them come alive and sound natural, which is particularly important for texts written by non-native English speakers or those generated by AI.
