I provide editing and proofreading services, including language editing for English as a second language writers. I provide comprehensive explanations when suggesting grammatical changes to PhD candidates with English as a second language.
I enjoy making texts error free and clear to their intended audience.
I can work to tight time-lines, and my already reasonable rates are discounted for students and not-for-profit organisations.
