I have extensive knowledge of the English language and the intricacies of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. I'm a good listener, hard worker, and an honest employee. English is my native language. I am a New Zealander currently living in Blenheim, New Zealand. In the past, I have worked as an English tutor, Math tutor, and Chess instructor. I have built websites and computers for friends and schools, as well as edited Word Documents and created PowerPoint files for a large assortment of people. Writing blogs and articles are in my blood. My enthusiasm and creative skills have benefited all who have asked for my expertise. I've learned Search Engine Optimization for the sake of creating high-quality content designed to rank highly on search engines. I've completed some online certification courses for marketing. These include the following: Facebook Blueprint Certificates: 1. Welcome to Marketing on Facebook 2. Introduction to Facebook Pages 3. Creating a Facebook Page 4. Introduction to Instagram 5. Building Your Mobile Presence With Instagram Business Tools Hubspot Academy Certificates: Inbound Marketing Content Marketing I learn quickly and adapt to whatever my employer(s) asks of me.

No matter the job or the time allotted, you can rest assured that I will get the work done and returned to you by the deadline and the result will be the best work I am capable of doing!

*NATIVE RUSSIAN SPEAKER from Russia * Professional Translator, Proofreader, Editor * High-quality jobs and happy clients I'm an honest and competent professional with enough motivation and commitment to my work. I work quickly and efficiently, and my priorities are always the client's satisfaction and quality of work. I provide error-free translations. I have an eye for detail and always meet deadlines. I would love to assist you with your localization, translation, voice recording, QA, and VA projects. I interact with you promptly and professionally at every step of the way as questions arise, and until you are perfectly satisfied. There is no doubt that your success is my success, as well. Please contact me directly to discuss your project. Looking forward to working with you, Irina.

I tend to operate more on a project cost basis than an hourly rate. My per word charges start from £3.00/1000 words for proof-reading, and £5.00/1000 words for copy-editing. These depend on the quality of the work to be edited, and a final quote can be provided after a sample has been provided (the sample will be returned to you with my alterations at no charge to you, so we both know what we're getting into.) Following a successful period of publishing my own books, assisting my fellow authors with getting theirs into print, and undertaking professional training courses to enable me to do so, in 2021, I quit my print-industry IT day job to work full time as a freelance editor and proofreader. (I could definitely have made that sentence shorter, but I think it serves to illustrate the difficulty of editing your own work. 😊) I work with both independent publishers and author service providers, as well as continuing to work with a variety of published authors. As a self-publishing author myself, I am committed to creating transparent pricing and budget-friendly options, as I understand how big and frightening an investment it can be. See my services page for my base per-thousand-word rates. I offer developmental edits, line and copy-editing, and proofreading of all types of document, and I am a graduate of both the Publishing Training Centre’s proofreading course and the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading’s suite of copyediting courses. (I continue to undertake other courses with both the CIEP and other providers to keep in touch with current standards and ensure I don’t get too slack.) I can provide old-school BSI proofreading (symbols written into your margins with a multi-coloured pen) on actual paper if that’s your bag (and can be as lenient or strict as you require with the rules of grammar). I also work regularly with Word, Google Docs and other software programmes, utilising tracked changes and comments, and marking up PDFs with Adobe Acrobat. I’m a native English speaker and, as such, will happily iron out language bumps from the writings of those for whom it is not a first language. In particular, I’ve worked with a lot of Polish romance authors and can now almost instinctively fix the odd verb constructions that come from some (not all) translations. As you can guess from my own published work, I specialise in fiction (particularly if you’ve written an epic fantasy, gnarly horror, fast-paced thriller, rom-com or knockabout comedy) but have worked on plenty of non-fiction texts, a lot of which focus on the music industry. As a musician myself, I’m very familiar with the subject matter and have corrected no less than seven incidents of authors attributing songs/albums/instruments to the wrong artists/record labels/musicians. I’m a keen advocate of LGBTQIA+ rights and issues, and I am very eager to help anyone from that background on their way to being published (as well as anybody from my native Devon). I’m a fully paid-up member of both the CIEP and the Alliance of Independent Authors, who carefully vet their members to ensure nobody is getting ripped off. I’ve heard enough horror stories from clients who previously hired the cheapest editors they could find on these freelancing platforms to believe in the guarantee of honesty that these two institutions stand for.

I am a writer / copy-editor / proofreader with a background in professional engineering, a talent for written communication, and a desire to help others write well. The versatility of my editing skills is demonstrated by the fact that I have edited over 120 academic documents, 28 book manuscripts (art and cultural history books, biographies, memoirs, a book on economics, and two novels) for Unicorn Publishing Group (UK), 90+ essays for Quillette, and I provide ongoing editing services to industry newsletters in both the UK and USA. If you need a whitepaper or case study written, I am an avid researcher, an inveterate fact-checker, and an accomplished report writer. If you need blog articles, I can do those, too. If you know what you want to say, but not quite how to say it, let me show you.

I am passionate about making your writing clear and compelling. Are you worried your text is wordy, unclear, or just missing something? Send me your draft and I'll make it shine! Do you want to make sure your writing is logical and flows well? Let me have a look! ✔️ Website pages ✔️ Academic writing ✔️ Medical/patient materials ✔️ Marketing materials ✔️ Manuals ✔️ Apps Let's polish your writing and ensure it is ready for publication!
