I am an highly experienced copy editor of books and newspapers, extrapolating those skills across a variety of genres, both in fiction and non fiction. Having worked internationally, I resolve to extend my over 26 years experience in the field of language use across all platforms, retaining author voice as much as is humanly possible.

Brief Overview: You know those teachers who catch every little mistake in student papers, and offer extensive and substantial comments on how to improve the work? Students might not be fans of this…but wouldn't that be exactly who you want in your corner, to help you perfect your work before submission/publication? That’s me! I am a professional academic with decades of experience writing, editing, peer-reviewing, and formatting academic and non-fiction content, with a lifelong passion for fiction.

I have 17 years’ experience as a professional academic: professor, editor, reviewer, and published author. I have provided editing, copy editing, proofreading, and ESL assistance, for hundreds of academic and professional documents — including research papers, manuscripts, dissertations, journal articles, and technical reports.

But it needs a final check, to ensure it is entirely error-free, prior to being submitted/published. *I will provide a careful systematic check, to ensure the copy is truly error free, so you can be confident your readers will not find any unprofessional and embarrassing mistakes. Style Guide Compliance: Your manuscript needs to ensure proper credit is given to your sources, according to a particular style guide. *I will provide complete and accurate compliance with whatever style guide is needed for your manuscript.

Hi there, I strongly believe you’re looking for me. Here’s why. As a published author, including a 250+ page Master's Thesis, you can certainly say that I know how to research an academic paper. Besides, I’m an adjunct research expert who uses print resources, online resources, Google Scholar, and other sites. My expertise is in the social sciences, economics and law fields especially international law - but I am amenable to working in other fields (except STEM). I enjoy the research process so you would enjoy working with me. BTW, I'm a great writing coach as well as a terrific proofreader! Just to answer a few of your queries 1.I’d love to do this project within 7-10 days 2.Of course I'd love to provide staged feedback so you know who's really working on your project. 3. My revisions aren’t limited ( I’ll help you a couple of times) 4. I use google docs mostly but i’d love to know your preference. Looking foward to your reply. John.

I bring a wealth of information and experience to each project. After more than 20 years working in retail advertising and handling several positions: proofreader, print buyer, media manager, broadcast & web writer, and copy manager, I decided to go freelance about 17 years ago. I relish the challenge of working on different projects for multiple clients and consistently bringing new life to stale ideas. I enjoy educating the reader, making him/her laugh, or simply making something that could be boring and lifeless into copy that intrigues and is easily understood. With my retail background I am consistently focused on selling whether that means a product, an idea, or a way of life. One quality that makes me different from many other people is that I am as adept at scrutinizing the details (composing indices for 300+ page catalogs by hand, proofreading/editing, or being responsible for a multi-million dollar budget) as I am at being creative. That means I work equally well whether given tight parameters or let loose to run through the fields of my imagination and have a chat with the voices in my head. I ensure that the customer is happy with the final product and I strive to do the best job possible, be on point, and on time.

I've been writing regularly since my first newspaper job in college in 1986, and I've been editing others' writing off-and-on since 1989 -- at my first newspaper job out of college. I've written one unpublished novel and three published books of nonfiction -- two on the rights of children in society, and a brand-new U.S. Constitution. I've written dozens of professional essays for online magazines, including The Savvy Street. I taught writing briefly at the university level (1995) and conducted dozens of private classes at home on "organized thinking" to freelancers from 1993 to 2006. I have a high level of motivation on projects, enjoying the challenges of such undertakings, as well as working with others, when the opportunity arises. I love the writing and editing process immensely.
