<p>Freelance proofreader and copy editor working with entrepreneurs, small businesses, webpage writers, authors, students, to help avoid the oops factor.</p>
<p><strong>Summary of services</strong></p>
<p>I am an editor, proofreader and, (when called upon) copy typist. I specialize in: working with students and independent academics, in UK and NZ universities, for whom English is a second language; editing and proofreading fiction writing and editing webpage content.</p>
<p><strong>Qualifications and experience</strong></p>
<p>I have an MA in Medieval History, a Diploma in Genealogy and a Certificate in Copy Editing from SfEP. I was an in-house proofreader for a range of scientific journals published by The Company of Biologists, Cambridge. I have many years&rsquo; experience freelance editing and proofreading a variety of work in a range of disciplines.</p>
<p><strong>Services</strong></p>
<p>I provide&nbsp;a polished, professional finish to a manuscript, article, letter, personal statement, CV, website or report:</p>
<p>&bull;&nbsp;addressing consistency with regards to layout and style<br /> &bull;&nbsp;attending to awkward non-standard phrasing<br /> &bull; eradicating grammar, punctuation and spelling errors</p>
<p>For authors whose manuscripts have already been copy-edited, I provide a final, pre-publication proofread to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify grammar, punctuation and spelling errors that have slipped through previous rounds of editing</li>
<li>check the formatting and layout are consistent</li>
<li>adhere to industry-recognized publishing conventions</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Formats</strong><br /> I mark up on screen (Word or PDF) or on paper. For PDF and paper proofreading, I use the BS 5261C proof-correction symbols. For Word files, I use the Track Changes function.</p>
<p><strong>Summary</strong><br /> I understand the demands of working in&nbsp;pressurized&nbsp;academic and professional environments and&nbsp;offer&nbsp;outstanding&nbsp;attention to detail, a friendly and&nbsp;approachable&nbsp;manner and, when you need it, a quick turnaround.&nbsp;I always deliver within budget, never miss a deadline, and pride myself on being able to follow a client's brief.</p>
