Copyediting
Clear, fluent, natural English.
I refine word choice, sentence structure, flow, readability, and coherence while correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style inconsistencies. The result is writing that reads smoothly, confidently, and professionally in English, without losing your voice.
Word choice & precision
Improvements for accuracy, nuance, concision, and natural expression.
Sentence rewriting
Sentence-level rewrites to improve clarity, reduce ambiguity, and remove unnecessary repetition.
Pinpoint fact-checking
Checks of key details such as names, dates, titles, authors, and cited works.
Flow & coherence
Light edits to improve transitions and connections, so the writing reads smoothly from one idea to the next.
Tone consistency
Tone refinements to suit your context, whether academic, business, creative, or another style altogether.
Style consistency
Consistent spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, formatting, and style choices.
Deliverables
Tracked changes
All edits visible in red so you can review every change, from small corrections to sentence-level refinements.
Comments
I leave clear comments in the document when your input may be helpful, giving you the chance to clarify meaning, confirm details, or choose between possible phrasings.
Delivery
Revised PDF plus a Word/Pages document with tracked changes and comments.
