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.

I have more than 30 years of experience in both an editorial capacity and in various office environments and would make a good candidate for your position. These jobs have been as varied as media (newspapers, magazines, and Internet), search engine marketing (Microsoft and Google), and construction. These positions have required me to be very detail-oriented and to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
My current specialties include editing for products (including descriptions and reviews), content related to small businesses of all types, including real estate, insurance, accounting, and banking, health and fitness, and niche businesses and startups. My clients in this area have included notable companies like Fit Small Business, Forbes Advisor, Forbes Global Properties, Fortune Recommends, Centerfield, Digital.com, Homefield Health, eZdia, Amazon and Amazon Web Services, eBay, Walmart, and many others.
Additionally, I also have a culinary arts degree, have worked as a chef, and copy edited and proofread several cookbooks and diet-related books.
From my newspaper days, I have a great deal of experience related to sports content of all types - both team and individual. I also have extensive multimedia experience and even publish a music-related blog on a daily basis.

With over 20 years of experience and a B.A. in English Language and Literature. I specialize in editing, proofreading, and formatting across all genres, both fiction and nonfiction I am a volunteer editor for the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA), whose magazine, Dispatches, has won the National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) award.
Many of my clients have been first-time authors whose books are available on Amazon. I have had many repeat clients on Upwork and many more via personal referrals, as well as those from Histria Books, the publisher I have worked with many times. I have edited over 200 books, all of which have been published.
As an editor, I read every word of your manuscript to enhance your dialog, when necessary, and make it shine. I work in MS Word and use the Track Changes feature to show my editorial changes and comments, highlighting areas that may need further work. I never change an author's tone or voice, and I always meet my deadlines.
I have a site that lists many of the books I've worked on (it's easy to find). I have edited over 200 books, but some have working titles that change upon publication, and sometimes authors don't use their real names; therefore, it's difficult to find them and add them to my portfolio, which, sadly, on Upwork, only shows some of the books I've worked on.
I prefer a fixed-rate fee of $2.50 per 500 words, which is usually more cost-effective than an hourly rate.
I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your project.
Best regards,
Sheila Grimes

"Angela was incredible to work with! Her work was timely and accurate. She communicated clearly, kept me in the loop about her progress on the project, and was able to complete two different tasks (beta reading and copyediting) in advance of milestone deadlines." - Author's feedback on a 30K manuscript project.
If you need a copy editor or proofreader: I'm your extra pair of eyes to detect typos, grammatical/syntax errors, confusing sentences or plot holes. Readers can be picky and too many errors can mean the difference between a glowing 5-star review and one that is well... less complimentary.
If you need a beta reader: I provide an in-depth report focusing on characters, plot, pacing, style, flow and any particular concerns you have, to ensure your manuscript meets reader expectations and genre tropes.
My Services:
☑️ Copy editing
☑️ Proofreading
☑️ Developmental editing
☑️ Beta reading
Extra Info:
☑️ Romance specialist but interested in editing and proofreading most genres, including non-fiction
☑️ Native English speaker with a MA in English based in Edinburgh
☑️ 12+ years of writing, copy editing and proofreading experience
☑️ Self-published author
☑️ Timely turnaround (1 week for a 60K word copy edit / proofread)
☑️ Prefer Word.docx using track changes and highlighted comments (but Google Docs OK too)
☑️ Delivery: a tracked changes version and a clean version of your manuscript.
☑️ UK English or US English - either is fine

I'm a certified proofreader and copy editor offering professional proofreading, copy editing, document formatting, and presentation design services.

Custom PowerPoint presentations, Google Slides, and Canva designs, including pitch decks, investor decks, corporate presentations, sales decks, webinar slides, training presentations, and branded templates.

Do you need a proofreader who actually understands your scientific content — not just the grammar?
I am a top-rated proofreader and copy editor with a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork, a degree in Dental Surgery (BDS) from the University of Manchester, and over 40 years of clinical experience in general dental practice across five countries (U.K., Germany, Australia, Spain, and New Zealand). I also hold a professional Diploma in Proofreading and Copy Editing from the College of Media and Publishing (UK).
This combination of deep subject-matter expertise and formal editorial training means I don't just catch spelling and punctuation errors — I spot inaccurate clinical terminology, inconsistent nomenclature, and unclear scientific reasoning that a general proofreader might miss.
I specialise in proofreading and editing:
- Scientific, medical, and dental papers and articles
- Scientific academic books and textbook chapters
- Healthcare website copy, patient education materials, and brochures
- Conference presentations, posters
- Pharmaceutical and biomedical content
What I deliver:
- Precise correction of spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax
- Verification of dental/medical/scientific terminology and consistency
- Improved readability and natural flow, especially for non-native English authors
- Adherence to your preferred style guide
Selected recent projects:
- A 27,000-word scientific book on Baltic amber
- An academic paper on decentralised electricity distribution (Nakitech)
- A United Nations introduction paper on Disaster Risk Reduction
- Technical specifications and user manual for an interactive AI display screen
- Corporate, educational, and website copy for clients including iOptimizerealty, Argent, and PracticeTestsAcademy
Please check my Portfolio for more examples of successful projects.
Ready to ensure your scientific, medical ,or dental document is polished, accurate, and publication-ready? Contact me today — I look forward to hearing about your project.
