Hi I'm an independent editor based in Leeds, UK. I was a lecturer in English and Creative Writing and I have a Master's in Linguistics. As my specialist student area was ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers, I have a wealth of experience working on translated documents and with language that has been created by non-native English speakers. I am a massive fan of the sci-fi genre and have significant previous experience of editing within this style. Thanks to my educational / career background, my focuses are broad; grammar, spelling, punctuation, choice of word and phrase, flow, style, character development and layout. I can also assist with publishing proposals and have a wide range of standard templates. Get in touch and we can take a look at a sample together - I'm completely flexible with deadlines and work within MS Word tracked change documents. Many Thanks Simon Richardson
