I’ve been a book editor and reviewer for the past five years; data analyst and social researcher for nine years; software tester and documentation professional for three years; and I have undergraduate and graduate studies in law, politics, statistics, ICT, web apps, and programming.
I specialise in academic work and have worked on PhDs that include statistics and social research. I offer copy editing and feedback on your work, and can format your references and footnotes.
As an editor, the biggest problems I have encountered include the following:
Non-Fiction / Academic
- Mistakes in the text – whether spelling or grammar
- English by non-native speakers
Fiction
- Holes in the plot
- Weak and inconsistent characters
- Incoherent and irrational structures
- Dialogue that isn’t believable and isn’t consistent
- Police and other services’ procedures that aren’t accurate
I can help fix all the above or find you someone who will.
For a professional editing service, I offer the following:
