Do you want your communication to be clear, your book to be the best, your publications to be perfect? The proofreading and editing skills I offer can help you achieve all of these goals. I take my time and love a challenge. My ratings and feedback are Top Rated and my experience here on Upwork is varied. For six years, I proofread reviews for a technology website, providing some editorial support along the way. My previous experience also includes creating a policy and procedure manual for a computer help desk where I was the supervisor and creating training materials for Office products and personally created programs. I have always been a picky spell checker and punctuation perfectionist that finds errors everywhere. I enjoy reading e-books on my Kindle, and do so voraciously, and was spurred to offer my proofreading expertise. How may I help you today?

I hold a degree in English and Applied Sciences and have over six years of experience working as a proofreader online. My extensive background has equipped me with a keen attention to detail, enabling me to spot common errors and mistakes frequently made by writers. I am adept at working quickly, allowing me to review multiple pages of text in just minutes without missing any errors. This efficiency, combined with my strong skill set, positions me as a valuable asset for this project, as I can deliver the precise skills you are seeking. As a freelance proofreader and editor, I possess a high level of proficiency in written English, including spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I am self-motivated and capable of working independently while consistently meeting deadlines punctually. My focus allows me to remain dedicated to the task at hand, ensuring quality results. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my background further and explore how I can contribute to this position. Thank you for considering my application.

I am a proofreader/editor with over fifteen years of experience. I work diligently with independent publishers and writers on nonfiction, contemporary fiction, and academic publishing. I also proofread websites, email campaigns, and blogs for innovative tech and health & wellness companies. I hold a Masters in history & education. If you need an experienced proofreader who will provide clear, concise edits and is reliable and punctual, please reach out and let's get working!

I'm an Englishman with excellent command of, and deep love for, my native language, and I want to give your own words some of that love and attention. I am a stickler for consistency and correctness in word use, presentation and formatting. My niche is NOT in producing the written word, but in proofreading and copy-editing other people’s to take it to the top level. I take your written labour of love and polish it to perfection, not to put my own voice on it, but to show your own work in its very best light. ACADEMIC WORK I specialise in high-end academic proofing and editing up to PhD level. I have a thirty-year professional career behind me and have written three master’s theses of my own, as well as writing or collaborating on numerous scientific studies and corporate reports. I am adept at applying the main style guides (especially APA6) meticulously, in both text and reference sections. YOUR SUBJECT: I do not need to know your subject! A common misconception I find in many job postings is that the client is looking for someone who knows their subject – when really what they need is an objective proofreader/editor who has the ability to see behind the subject to the words beneath, to make sure that the sentences and paragraphs are properly constructed, fluent and readable. Rest assured that I will search/Google/Wiki any questions as I come across them, and won’t waste your time coming back to you with queries – but if I need to ask them, I will. WHAT I DON’T DO: I will polish up your academic work, but I won’t do it for you. I won't write anything. I don’t re-write passages, build arguments, do research, fill in sections, or anything that necessarily has to be the work of the author. POLISHING HIGH-END NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE ENGLISH CONTENT If you’re a business person, an entrepreneur or a marketer from an English-speaking country, I will check over your corporate manuals, marketing material, B2Bs, white papers, Web content, etc, to make sure they are grammatically perfect and internally consistent. Small errors on Web pages or in business communications are jarring to the reader, and give the impression (even subconsciously) of a lack of professionalism. If you’re an entrepreneur or a marketer from Europe (or any other non-English-speaking country), who wants your content to be checked and perfected to make it sound like it was written by a native, then I’m your man. Your customers will feel more drawn towards you if you have taken the effort to make your business material polished and professional. (THE NEGATIVE STUFF...) WHAT I DON’T DO: I DO NOT WR*TE. I don’t make silk purses out of sows’ ears. I don't polish turds. If you’ve paid someone a few dollars to write something for your content mill and find you have to pay someone else to fix it up, then you’ll find someone a lot cheaper than me to give you what you want. If words were animals, then I’d be a pamperer and a groomer – not a puppy farmer. WHY AM I SO EXPENSIVE? I’m not, believe me. You’ll only need to pay me once to have your work ready to go, so by paying more upfront you’ll be saving in the long run. WHAT I DON’T DO If I see a mention of Copyscape, forget it. I don’t spin; I don’t rewrite; and I won’t work on anything that I know or believe to be plagiarised (and I will flag accordingly). AND I DON’T WRITE. If you’ve been shown to this page by a search algorithm, forget it. I’M NOT A WR*TER. Upwork's automatic algorithms are as effective as a chocolate fireguard or an underwater hairdryer.

💠 Line editing 💠 Copy editing 💠 Proofreading 💠 Most writers are afraid that their work contains mistakes or typos that will distract from their message. As an editor, I catch those mistakes and polish your writing so that you can share your content with confidence. A great message can get lost when it lacks clarity or contains errors. As a native US-English speaker, I can identify when something should be reworded for clarity and flow. I am a detail-oriented reader, which means that I can spot typos and grammar errors as well.

From first draft to final product, I can edit: ✔️Nonfiction books ✔️ Children's literature (picture books, middle-grade, YA) ✔️Graphic novels (comic books) ✔️ Curriculum and educational content ✔️ Presentation and webinar slide decks ✔️ Blogs and web content ✔️ AI video captions and transcripts ✔️ Content that has been translated into English or was written by a non-native English speaker My editing services include: ✅ spelling ✅ typos ✅ grammar ✅ formatting ✅ continuity ✅ flow ✅ syntax and word usage Invite me to apply to your job posting or contact me to schedule a discovery call.
