My Services | Simon D. Coll

Here are the various services I offer; click each heading below to find out more.

This is intended to give only a general idea of what I can do for you. If you have other questions, have a look at my FAQs. If you’d like to see a few examples of my writing style or translation work, have a look at my samples page.

For all these services, I generally charge per source word. Rates are calculated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the complexity of the job, the document formats involved and so on. I’m more than happy to discuss specific jobs in more detail, so if you’re interested, please get in touch!

Academic copyediting

I provide editing and proofreading services for dissertations (master’s or PhD), journal articles, conference papers and presentations, book manuscripts, research proposals and abstracts.

I edit for grammar, spelling, idiom and general tone and flow. I also ensure that the referencing, formatting and layout are consistent throughout. If you intend to submit the text to a specific journal or publisher, I can also check that it meets that organization’s house style and referencing guidelines.

My focus is primarily on humanities and social sciences texts, including those in the following fields:

Extra services

For history texts in particular, I am able to provide more substantial feedback or suggestions on argument or structure. This would be subject to an additional fee.
