Everyone needs something different from an editor.

​What do you need?
​

• Help with the consistency and accuracy of your language?
• Advice on improving the style and structure of your text?
• Guidance on preparing your book for market?
• Checking and fixing any errors in your academic references?

As AI reshapes academic publishing, clear, precise and rigorous writing has never been more important. I help scholars, authors and publishers produce work that is accurate, coherent and compelling, whether that's original writing, AI-assisted text, or translations.

Having polished hundreds of books, journal articles and PhD theses, you can be certain that your words are in good hands.

I have special expertise in the social sciences, humanities and law.

Editing in the AI era

AI-generated and AI-translated text is here to stay, offering real benefits such as speeding up drafts, providing quick translations, and helping people who write predominantly in a language other than English communicate their ideas.

​For instance, AI can produce a first-pass summary of a literature review or translate an article into English for wider readership. Yet these tools aren’t perfect: subtle errors in argument, nuance or disciplinary conventions can (and often do) slip through. That’s where human expertise becomes essential – ensuring your work is accurate and coherent and maintains the highest academic standards.

I only use AI tools that make great human editing more effective, faster and more affordable

AI can check spelling and grammar, but only human expertise ensures that your argument, voice and nuance shine through

​I am happy to:

• ​review and refine AI-generated text
• edit AI-assisted translations, especially for multilingual authors
• 'humanise' AI output so that it aligns with your voice and nuance

I will never:

• share any of your work with AI tools (or indeed with anyone)
• work on texts that I believe have used AI irresponsibly – especially academic work that is subject to plagiarism rules
