Editing and Proofreading in English

I revise and correct any text in English, whether or not it was translated from another language.

For scientific texts, I edit your article to a publishable standard of English. I examine your text in detail and provide suggestions that will improve structure and quality as well as grammatical revisions. For non-native English speakers, I can help you to communicate your discoveries clearly and with finesse. 

For translated texts, I verify accuracy and quality, comparing the original with the translation and making corrections where necessary. I make sure that the final text is grammatically accurate and makes sense socially and culturally.

For all texts written in English, I provide a close and detailed reading, correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. I also consider typography, format, layout, style, and syntax in order to render your text accurate and convincing.

I can assist you in preparing your article, book, thesis, or dissertation for publication, perfecting language, formatting, references, etc. Tasks include but are not limited to preparing and numbering figures and tables as well as front and back matter : appendices, bibliographies, indices, tables of contents, etc.

I research and write program notes, cd liner notes, essays, scripts, newsletters, brochures, professional bios, and other texts !

As a published researcher, I pay close attention to textual and intellectual details, and I strive for precision, consistency, and style in the finished document.
