I provide editing and proofreading services for dissertations (master’s or doctoral), journal articles, conference papers and presentations, book manuscripts, research proposals and abstracts.
As with my general editing service, I edit for grammar, spelling, idiom and general tone and flow. I also ensure that the referencing, formatting and layout are consistent throughout.
My focus is primarily on humanities and social sciences texts, including those in the following fields:
- history
- literature
- politics
- sociology
- social or cultural studies
- area studies
- translation studies
Extra services
If you intend to submit the text to a specific journal, I can also check that it meets that journal’s house style and referencing guidelines. This would be charged as one hour’s extra work.
For history texts in particular, I am able to provide more substantial feedback or suggestions on argument or structure. This would also be subject to an additional fee.
I am also happy to consider other editing and proofreading jobs, particularly for texts that fall within my areas of specialization:
- history (especially modern history)
- computing/software
- video games (in-game text, press releases, games journalism, and so on)
In general, I edit texts for grammar, spelling, idiom and general tone and flow.
As a German-to-English translator, I specialize in the following fields:
