EDITING AND PROOFREADING

"Editing should be... a counseling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, “How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?” and avoid “How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?”
James Thurber (1894–1961)
(Memo, 1959, to New Yorker. New York Times Book Review (December 4, 1988).

 

I have a passion for style and an obsessive eye for accuracy. My abilities range from proofreading to substantive editing. I am especially experienced in editing text written by non-native speakers of English. I gained this experience during a 5-year residence in Zagreb, Croatia, where I worked as a freelance editor and translator. I continue to edit and proofread on a regular basis since my return to the UK.

I have edited / proofread the following types of documents:

- academic journals
- books
- theses and dissertations
- company sales literature
- newsletters
- annual reports
