Hi Cheryl,
I'm an independent academic editor with 10 years' experience, a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. In my university role, I was head of the International Student Department, and therefore responsible for linguistic and structural quality of submitted proposals, journal articles and theses by students, and management, corporate, institutional and legal documentation.
I provide a comprehensive editing service that comprises thorough grammatical and lexical checks as well as flow, consistency, layout, style and tone. I also check citations, footnotes and bibliographies where applicable. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions at no extra cost.
Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail (I quote based on word count, so if you can convert the character count into words, I can provide an accurate quote). I am more than happy to provide a sample if you want to get an idea of my work, and I am free to start immediately, with a 2-3-day deadline perfectly doable.
Many Thanks
Simon Richardson
