Hello! I’m Kirsty, an editor from Scotland, a beautiful country known for its whisky, friendly people, and, yes, plenty of rain. I love Pilates, dogs (who doesn’t?), reading, and exploring as much of the world as I can. I bring nearly a decade of editing experience to the table. I'm certified in proofreading by the Proofreading Academy and in copyediting (Copyediting 1) by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). I’m proficient in British English, American English, and Australian English. My two lifelong passions are literature and travel. Over the past ten years, I’ve immersed myself in both—devouring books across genres while journeying around the globe. Editing has given me the perfect way to combine these loves and discover a third: helping authors refine their work and share their stories with the world. For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of doing exactly that, working closely with writers to strengthen their voice and bring exceptional books to life.

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. Elizabeth

This is Dr. Khan, a versatile freelance working as a professional researcher, trainer, IT specialist and teacher from the last 15 years in different sectors of Pakistan, Afghanistan and UAE. Having a great experience in the research, I decided to provide my services here on Upwork to help the companies and the individuals to be successful in the industry. My work has been published in well reputed international academic journals and conferences and also served as an editor and reviewer for 30+ reputed journals in various fields of engineering and computer science. I pride myself in providing quality work – no matter the job – to all my clients. My background as an associate professor at the university level has given me a unique perspective to examine academic writing, which will be beneficial to you as a client. I earned a PhD in Electronic Engineering from International Islamic University, writing my dissertation on Denoising and Segmentation of Blood Vessels in Retina Images using Statistical Techniques. I also have a MS Electronic Engineering(Communication and Signal Processing) from the same university with my dissertation on Initial Design and Development of Indigenous Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Demonstrator, As a scientific expert, I will provide you with key insight and research into whatever topic assigned, accessing a variety of source materials to complete the project. My experience in academia, and now on this platform, has allowed me the chance to edit and proof-read hundreds of term papers, thesis, dissertations, book chapters, and journal articles. As a former student, I know how important it is to produce a well-written paper to not only get a good grade in your class, but also to use that paper as a springboard to further your academic career. Since I am currently a writer and researcher, I also know how important it is to keep your name in the field by producing work that is publishable in peer reviewed publications. I have been through the process and know what those publications expect from their writers. Although my background is in engineering, I have helped edit and proof-read papers from scores of different backgrounds – from computer science to biology, from economics to anthropology and from social science to management sciences as well. Over the course of teaching for 10+ years at the university level, I acquired experience in a number of areas that you can utilize. I have extensive experience grading papers and using rubrics, writing course material, and creating my own lectures using Microsoft PowerPoint. I have also studied various pedagogical theories and practices. As a Turnitin and Grammarly Premium account holder, I can ensure that all of my work is 100% unique content, so you do not need to worry about copy & paste jobs. I also pass my work through premium Grammarly to ensure that it is free from grammatical errors. Here are my expertise but not limited to, ★ Editing and proofreading academic texts (e.g. doctoral theses, research papers, funding proposals, research reports, etc.) ★ Citation/formatting styles (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA, Harvard, etc.) ★ Plagiarism-free work ★ Literature Review ★ Research Papers & Proposals ★ Research Article ★ BS/MS/PhD Thesis/Dissertation ★ Statement of Purpose ★ Webpages & resumes etc. If you are looking for any help related to my skills, you can contact me and we can discuss the project. Looking forward to working with you. Best, Dr. Khan!
