I'm offering
I offer speedy and competitively priced proofreading and copy-editing services to academics and students. I have 10 years' experience proofreading Masters' theses, PhDs, monographs (for publishers including Routledge and Oxford University Press), and scholarly articles. My clients have had their work published in top-tier philosophy journals including Mind, Canadian Journal of Philosophy, and British Journal of the History of Philosophy. While my proofreading experience spans a broad range of disciplines (not limited to the humanities), I specialise in philosophy and classics. I hold a Master's in Ancient Philosophy from Oxford and am currently reading for a PhD in Philosophy at Cambridge. I have significant experience proofreading documents for those whose first language is not English.
My service includes checking for all typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors. Where desired, I can make stylistic changes to render your work more coherent and concise.
In summary, my service comprises the following areas:
Spelling
Punctuation
Grammar
References (including bibliography)
Layout
Meaning
Clarity
Style
Language and word-choice
Indexing (where requested)
