Who am I?
I am a qualified, professional editor, based in the beautiful South Downs town of Lewes in the UK but working for customers based all over the world.
I have edited and proofread about three hundred books, journal articles, PhD theses and many other types of published material (at the last count, over thirty-five million words), ranging in size from the smallest blog post to huge multi-author academic books.

Most importantly, though, I care about the work I do, and want to make the same commitment to polishing your document that you made when you wrote it.

My fees
I've structured my fees so that they're be fair to both you and me. I charge by the word, not by the hour, so you'll know before I start how much you will have to pay.
I've introduced a progressive pricing scheme, so longer pieces of work will attract a lower price per word. A progressive scheme is a bit more complicated than paying a flat rate per word, but it's much fairer. See my fees page for more details.
If you pay up front, I'll even knock 5% off the fee. How's that for fair?

My qualityI take pride in delivering a reliable, professional service. I'm not a machine or a large, impersonal company, but neither am I dabbling; this is my profession and I'm proud to be an editor. That means that I can give your work the time and energy it needs to make it as good as possible.
Editing isn't just about checking mechanically for typos or ironing out inconsistencies and errors. Nor is it about sticking to outdated rules that cramp the natural style of your writing. It's about helping writing to convey meaning, to make it beautiful, to polish it so that it shines. |
