How I work

Editorial work is personal

These reviews reflect the kind of collaboration ESOL edit is built around: careful reading, direct communication, and one-to-one editorial support from first contact to final delivery.

Whether the project is a thesis chapter, journal article, novel, translation, or index, the aim is the same: stronger English, greater clarity, and writing that still sounds like you.

Direct collaboration

Every project is handled personally by me. No outsourcing, no anonymous editing pool, and no handoff once the work begins.

Writers across fields

The feedback here comes from academics, authors, and professionals working across research, publishing, and creative practice.

Voice preserved

The aim is not generic correction. It is precise, thoughtful editing that improves clarity while respecting the writer’s meaning and style.

Excellent job! Due to Nina’s editing, my prose has a much nicer flow and an idiomatic feel to it. I also appreciated that she followed my train of thought very well. As a result, her revisions never distorted what I wanted to say. I would work with Nina again anytime.

Encargar a Nina la traducción de mi novela (español a inglés) ha sido una de las mejores decisiones profesionales de mi vida. Su dedicación, profesionalidad e inteligencia son insuperables, y eso da total seguridad. Sabes que tu obra está en las mejores manos, que su trabajo va a ser insuperable, no simplemente bueno. Quizá… mejor que el original! Ojalá siempre me tradujese ella todo!

I have known Nina for the wonderful, funny, creative person she is for over a decade. Around two years ago I had the privilege of starting a professional writing journey with her editing my second novel. I would send a chapter or two at a time and Nina would promptly and professionally have it back to me for perusal with notes, suggestions and amendments which I always found insightful, and frankly rather brilliant. She in no way alters the sense or the phrase substance but has a knack for making the reading of the passages smoother and in fact more interesting. Excellent at straightforward copy editing, grammar improvement and silly repetitive error elimination. Working with Nina was an absolute pleasure and I would thoroughly recommend her as highly talented in her editing and translation skills.
