Hi! I'm a creative/ghostwriter, book editor, and proofreader, one of Upwork's Top Rated Plus freelancers, with a BA (Hons) in English Language & Literature, a passion for books, and 10 years' experience of delivering a consistently high standard of work and professionalism across a variety of different fictional genres for clients across the world. I invite you to browse my portfolio, and the very positive client feedback I've been lucky enough to receive to date. I welcome all enquiries, so do get in touch via Upwork's messaging centre if you would like to know more about my services or think I might be a good fit for your project. By the way, I'm a native English speaker based in the UK, and I work in UK, US, AU, and NZ English, depending on clients' needs. I'm familiar with all major style books, including AP, APA, CMOS. My pronouns are: She/Her

I love to read, organize things, and help people fix their problems. I combine these interests to smooth out your manuscript with proofreading, copy-editing, and formatting to present your text in a form easily read and understood. I do not do developmental editing, but when I copyedit, I'm highly aware of content mistakes and missteps and will alert you to these. My favorite assignments are fixed-price, non-fiction projects; I’m open to both long-term and short-term contracts and will edit any document size.

Research-driven technical writer and editor specialising in journal manuscripts, scientific content, and business reports. I work with complex academic and technical material to produce clear, structured, publication-ready outputs. My experience includes editing and preparing manuscripts for submission across science, engineering, and applied technical fields, including structural editing, line editing, proofreading, and conformity to style guidelines. I work with organisations including Cambridge Proofreaders and Enago as a writer and editor, and hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London. My sector experience spans agriculture, agribusiness, energy, environmental systems, and related technical fields, alongside work on medical and health-related content. I am also experienced in formatting and presenting data for publication, including statistical outputs and their accompanying descriptions.

Have you created some text that you'd like a second pair of eyes to look over, checking the sense and refining it with perfect grammar and spelling? Or maybe English isn't your first language, and you'd like some help to make your copy read like it was written by a native speaker? Either way, you've come to the right place! My speciality is working with texts both long and short, and from all backgrounds, fixing the typos and tweaking phrases or sentences to help the flow of the language. My default is British English, but I'm happy to work in different styles (such as US English) or follow a set style guide. I started editing shortly after finishing my degree at Oxford 25 years ago, and am now a full-time freelancer working on all sorts of projects from my home office. I have a flexible but focused attitude to work and am often available for quick turnaround projects. I frequently work with people who don't have English as a mother tongue, and will put in the effort to make sure your text sounds like it's been written by a native speaker. I work primarily in British English but am happy to adapt to US/Australian styles where needed. What sort of projects do I work on? • Magazine/catalogue/marketing publication work In the past I have worked as a subeditor for major UK magazines including BBC Good Food, Food & Travel, Lonely Planet Traveller, Good Housekeeping and Vogue; and as a subeditor/proofreader for customer publications and catalogues for major brands including Marks & Spencer, English Heritage, Aston Martin and P&O Cruises. I now take on similar proofreading and editing projects from home, using Word, Google Docs or PDFs as required. I hold a diploma in Magazine Editorial from the London School of Publishing. • Book proofreading and copy-editing I have copy-edited and proofread numerous books, including novels for Lindbak + Lindbak, travel guides for Wild Things Publishing and lifestyle titles for Summersdale (an imprint of Hachette UK) and Flame Tree Publishing, as well as books for self-publishing clients. My specialities are travel, food and other lifestyle subjects, but I will happily take on most subjects as I love learning about new things! I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders (CIEP) and have passed core training in both copy-editing and proofreading. • Academic editing/proofreading I hold Masters degrees from both Oxford University and the University of London and have worked on several thesis/dissertation submissions and journal articles for UK universities and other institutions around Europe. I have completed both the CIEP’s Proofreading Theses and Dissertations course and Proofreading Academy's Academic Proofreading course so I have a good understanding of the language style required, the various referencing systems and the ethical considerations involved this academic work. • Content writing My content writing work is mostly in the travel sphere – I have written hundreds of accommodation descriptions, area guides and blog articles for Pitchup (one of Europe's leading OTAs) as well as tour descriptions for companies such as WithLocals. These all rely on finding a balance between interesting reading, accurate details and SEO optimisation. I have taken several SEMRush courses and the extensive Udemy SEO/Local SEO course, which have given me great insight into optimising text for SEO. • Other editing/proofreading projects Almost anything you can suggest! Upwork has so far sent me: websites, calendars, promotional brochures, job applications, CVs… if it has words, I can proofread it!

Ghostwriting, Travelwriting, eBooks (and put them on amazon), creative writing, blogging, sustainable living, sports, alternative medicine, low impact, environment, psychology, human relations, spirituality I can also build a WP or WIX Website for you and/or maintain it. I am not available for anything audio, fake reviews, ethically difficult subjects (gaming, casino, pharmaceuticals ...) or marketing jobs.

Just like in molecular biology, I understand that tiny mistakes in writing can make all the difference (with both your meaning and how professional you come across). Whether it’s a misplaced decimal point or a misspelt word, I’ll find it. I will carefully edit your work, making sure it is not only grammatically correct and free from spelling and punctuation errors but also consistent and coherent, so that you come across as polished and professional.

I’ve been trained to work under pressure, so I won’t just catch your typos—I’ll spot the bigger mistakes and deliver results quickly. If your work is science-related, I have the savvy you need. I spent years in the lab and can make sure your scientific language is both accurate and readable. No more relying on autocorrect to handle those complex terms!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Expertise, Your Success! "Ali does an amazing job! He is much better than US-based proofreaders I have used. Also, in my case, it is extremely valuable that he is a physician and helps me with technical language. He responds exceedingly quickly, which is very valuable since I juggle multiple clients at one time. I started at a rate of $30 an hour, but quickly and without asking increased his pay to $40 an hour out of gratitude and some sense of fairness. Still a bargain…" As an experienced editor and proofreader with exceptional skills in all facets of the English language (UK and US), I can quickly, reliably, and expertly complete any task relevant to this field.

If your romance or SFF manuscript has a strong concept but something still is not landing, the issue is usually structural. That is where I work.

I help serious authors strengthen story architecture, deepen emotional arcs, and deliver payoffs that build reader loyalty in a competitive market. In romance, I focus on: • Emotional arcs that feel inevitable • Escalating chemistry and tension • A third act that earns its resolution In fantasy and sci fi, I focus on: • Worldbuilding integrated seamlessly into plot • Clear stakes and escalation • Consistent internal logic • Character-driven momentum I do not copyedit grammar. I strengthen the foundation of your manuscript so every scene supports the larger narrative.
