Your book deserves an editor who actually reads your genre for fun. With 15+ years of editing experience across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, I've helped authors tighten their prose, fix plot holes, and keep readers turning pages. I know dialogue punctuation cold. I catch inconsistencies most editors miss. And I won't flatten your voice in the process. Fiction: Literary, genre, short stories, poetry. I'll flag plot gaps, pacing issues, and anything that pulls a reader out of the story. Nonfiction: Memoir, self-help, business, cookbooks, workbooks. I'll make sure your book reads naturally and is structured so readers can actually use it. Every project starts with a free sample edit so we're aligned before any commitment. I edit in Word, Google Docs, or PDF with tracked changes, so you see every suggestion and decide what stays. I'm selective about the projects I take on. If I say yes, you're getting my full attention.

As an experienced English language teacher and a fully qualified speaking examiner for B1 and B2 Cambridge exams, I have had the pleasure of helping numerous high-level students and working adults achieve their language goals. In addition to being fluent in the language myself, I excel at coaching students in various areas of language learning, from mastering grammar and vocabulary to building confidence in conversational skills. My approach is to maintain a student-centered focus, tailoring lessons to meet individual needs, goals, and learning styles while emphasising practical applications of the language. In addition to my experience as a language teacher, I have worked extensively with large oil and gas companies in proofreading, editing, and formatting technical standards for working engineers. My attention to detail and commitment to excellence ensure that all documents are error-free and meet the high standards of the industry. Through my work, I have become familiar with the technical language and jargon unique to the industry, allowing me to provide not only grammatically correct edits but also contextually sound suggestions for improved clarity and effectiveness. Whether you're seeking IELTS preparation or general language writing skills development, I have the experience and expertise to help you achieve your goals. Thank you for considering my services.

If you're an editor or publisher looking for someone who treats a translation as a creative act — not just a linguistic exercise — you've found your person. Over the past three decades, I've built my career around one conviction: a translated book should feel as if it were written in the target language from the very first page. That means honoring the author's voice, rhythm, and intent — not just their words. Since joining Upwork in 2017, I've specialized in book translations across genres, from literary fiction to technical texts, always delivering work that resonates with Latin American readers. My Approach to Translation I work with AI tools where they add efficiency, but every project I deliver is shaped by human judgment. The nuances that define a great translation — cultural context, tonal consistency, idiomatic flow — still require a trained eye and decades of experience. That's what I bring to every manuscript. I invest significant time in research: terminology, cultural references, regional sensitivities. The result is a translation that doesn't just read correctly — it reads naturally. Editing & Proofreading Whether you're refining an AI-generated draft or polishing a finished manuscript, I offer meticulous editing and proofreading services. I identify inconsistencies, sharpen vocabulary, and elevate the overall quality of the text — always staying true to the author's original intent. What Sets Me Apart 30+ years of experience in literary and editorial translation Deep specialization in book-length projects — I understand the commitment they require Background in Computer Science, which gives me an edge with technical and specialized texts Fluent in the cultural landscape of Latin America — I don't just translate for the region, I write for its readers Reliable, deadline-driven, and respectful of your editorial vision Languages & Specializations English → Neutral Latin American Spanish Fiction, literary non-fiction, and technical texts Let's talk about your project.
