If you're an author or publisher who needs editing that respects your work, a company that needs accurate, well-presented transcripts, an author, publisher, or business that needs flawless SR-EN or EN-SR translation, or you simply want a human with a strong content-writing background to review AI-generated text, I might be the right person for the job.
Polishing a manuscript and proofreading a business transcript require different skill sets, but I've spent a decade building both. On the literary side, I hold an MA in Philology, Literature, and Literary Theory, and I've spent ten years editing for authors and publishers — developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, beta reading, blurbs, and book summaries. Writing hundreds of summaries for Amazon publishers gave me an unusually close read on how successful books are structured and why they work, and years of writing SEO content for tech and language-learning companies gave me a working knowledge of discoverability I still apply when editing.
On the technical side, I've spent the past year and a half as a transcript proofreader and fact-checker for AlphaSights, reviewing AI-generated transcripts of expert conversations across technical and nontechnical fields, against a strict internal style guide. I'm bilingual in English and Serbian and have completed a number of translation, QA, and LLM-training projects in both languages.
I've also spent the last five years working inside AI systems — training, evaluating, and rewriting model outputs for enterprise clients. That gave me a precise eye for what AI-assisted writing looks and sounds like at the sentence level: the false coherence, the hedged phrasing, the subtle flatness careful readers sense even when they can't name it. If your draft needs to sound human (or sound like you), I know how to get it there.
I've been on Upwork for over a decade, completed 100+ projects, and maintain a 100% Job Success Score as a Top Rated freelancer. I take editorial work seriously, and I bring the same rigor to transcripts and translations. I prefer working with clients who care about getting it right.

- Developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading for fiction and nonfiction manuscripts
- Editing and humanizing AI-assisted drafts
- Book summaries, blurbs, and critical analysis
- Proofreading, fact-checking, and QA for AI-generated transcripts
