Here are some examples of my writing style (both academic and non-academic), along with a few sample translation texts from my various areas of specialization. These will hopefully give you some idea of what I can do, and whether my editing or translation skills would be a good fit for your project.
If you have any questions, or would like to ask about my experience in a particular field, do please get in touch.
