Editing is more than just proofreading. Beyond correcting spelling and grammar, I focus on syntax, coherence, and readability – helping your writing become sharper, smoother, and more effective.

Services

Copyediting for Students

I specialise in editing academic papers, particularly for non-native English speakers. Whether you’re submitting a term paper or completing a doctoral dissertation, I will help ensure your writing is clear, grammatically correct, and academically appropriate.

Editing for Businesses

Your website often serves as your first point of contact and clear, precise communication is essential to building credibility. I provide thorough editing of web content, promotional materials, instructional texts, and internal documentation to ensure clarity, consistency, and professionalism. I also offer specialised editing for translated business websites, refining language and tone to ensure that your message is conveyed naturally and fluently to an English-speaking audience.

Editing for Artists

With a background in the visual arts, I bring a sensitive and informed approach to editing CVs, artist statements, grant applications, and proposals. I aim to clarify your message while preserving your creative voice and intent. Depending on the intended audience, I can work in either clear, accessible Plain English or adopt the conventions of International Art English to align with contemporary institutional discourse.
