All Testimonials

English is now the central language of communication in business, politics, administration, science, and academia and is the dominant language of globalized advertising and pop culture. One can be highly competent in the English language yet be intimidated by grammar, syntax, and its basic mechanics; thus, it is essential to choose someone who can not only check for errors but also give suggestions to improve writing clarity and quality.


With a broad range of expertise and knowledge in various subject matters, I can edit and proof a wide variety of manuscripts, documents, and articles delivered in a timely manner.

COPY/LINE EDITING vs PROOFREADING

Copyediting is an in-depth examination of the document to check for the logical flow of ideas and other writing issues. Changes can be made to the original work to bridge any gaps between the author’s intent and the reader’s understanding. This editing brings the completed manuscript to a more professional level.

Proofreading is the stage after a copyedit has been completed. It is a review of the document’s final draft checking it for minor grammatical errors and typos before publication.
