WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU WITH EXCELLENCE
Hello! As an experienced and qualified proofreader, translator, copywriter, editor, transcreator, and transcriber, I can refine and improve your Spanish content so that it has a professional finish, reads fluently and naturally, has the right style, is culturally adapted, error-free, and tailored to your specific needs.
My ability to optimize English to Spanish translations and correct texts generated by AI tools (MTPE) is based on a top-notch professional experience and academic background and will make the difference for your project to acquire the quality required to be successful. I also have experience as a prompt engineer and am able to participate in LLM trainings.
I can work very well with technical, industrial, medical and business, as well as literary, commercial, artistic and educational content. My qualifications cover an unusually wide range: from the scientific or academic field to the humanistic and social fields.
I also offer ASR (Automated Speech Reviewing or Audio Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-to-Speech) / STT (Speech-to-Text) related services: quality assurance, naturalization, improvement and proofreading of automated translations/transcriptions; and also voice-over recording (neutral Spanish) for podcasts, faceless videos, online courses; language learning apps assesment.
Through my extensive experience in the field of education, I have developed excellent skills in E-learning, curricula design, document formatting, research tasks, academic content review, use of educational technology, LMS platforms, and the design or audit of virtual courses and educational projects.
EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND TO YOUR SERVICE
I am an industrial and electronic engineer, philosopher and theologian, with a postgraduate degree in higher education and a master's degree in strategic administration of information technologies. I also have specialization courses in various areas offered by renowned universities around the world.
I worked for a long time as a proofreader, pre-press specialist, editor and author for a leading Spaniard publishing corporation in Latin America. I have been an outstanding university professor for 20 years in various careers and universities. I have also successfully served as private consultant in QA, E-learning, Professional Ethics and Ortotypographical Correction.
I know all the linguistic and cultural variants of Latin America, Spain and the hispanic population in the U.S. & Canada, so I am a specialist in working in neutral Spanish and avoiding any kind of regionalisms, if you are looking to reach the maximum possible Spanish-speaking audience. And, conversely, I can do localization and enhance my work with SEO strategies.
MORE GOOD NEWS
- From 2025 I am also available at UpWork. Make no mistake: despite my short time at UpWork, I have more training and experience than most freelancers in my field.
- Here you have more than a mere proofreader or more than just another translator: I am a Spanish "content curator" and analyst with complete mastery of the language.
- You can take a look at my resume: look for it in my profile page!
- See what my clients say about my professional approach and quality service: take a look at my Upwork profile page.
- Detail-oriented / Quality standards / Great work ethics / Responsible and committed to my clients / I always walk the extra mile / Highly organized / Impressive general knowledge

- I offer you unlimited revisions of the work, until you are satisfied with the result.
- I assure you a friendly and constant communication during the project and as long as necessary.
- I will give you quick attention to your concerns and fast delivery times.

I trade as Eagle Editing and am taking bookings from August onwards. Send me a message with some details about your proofreading job (including a short sample if your document is over 5000 words in length) and I'll get back to you quickly!
I'm based in the north east of Scotland and am an intermediate member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, through which I've done formal proofreading training. I specialise in non-fiction and academic proofreading and have also worked on a small amount of fiction. I've also done training on formatting Word documents for e-book publication.

My background is in engineering (I hold an MEng) and I've also studied leadership and management to diploma level. I worked full time in the energy industry for over 14 years so have experience working on technical documents.
I have an eagle eye for detail and would love to help you elevate your writing so that it's error free, clear and consistent.

Hello,
As a detail-oriented editor with over 20 years of experience and a B.A. in English Language and Literature, I specialize in line, copyediting, and developmental editing across all genres, including fiction and non-fiction. I am a member of NAIWE, the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors, and a volunteer editor for the Military Writers’ Society of America. I have edited numerous novels and written many articles.
I will read every word of your manuscript and check for punctuation, grammar, flow, and inconsistencies. I work quickly and accurately in Word 2024 using the Track Changes feature and the Chicago Manual of Style. I will never change your voice, style, or tone, and I will be available to guide you whenever needed—even after the job is considered finished. Most of my clients are self-published, though I also work with publishers and have acquired clients through Upwork and referrals.
My fee for copyediting your 60K-word novel will be $400.00, and I will return the edited manuscript and a clean copy within approximately 7-10 days.
Please check my Upwork feedback and portfolio on my website.
I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your project.
Sincerely,
