I provide detailed, accurate and ethical editing for journal articles, book manuscripts, conference papers and presentations, dissertations (master’s or PhD), research proposals and abstracts.
My focus is primarily on humanities and social sciences texts, including those in the following fields:
- history
- literature
- sociology
- social or cultural studies
- political science
- area studies
- translation studies
My services include:
Copyediting
I check the text line by line for accuracy and consistency.
Language editing
I ensure that the text flows well and is written in clear, accurate and idiomatic English. I edit for grammar, spelling, idiom and overall tone. This is especially useful for non-native speakers of English.
Manuscript preparation
I ensure that the text is ready for submission to a journal or publisher, checking formatting, references and bibliography, adherence to house style, and so on.
Manuscript review
For history texts in particular, I am able to provide more substantial feedback and suggestions on argument or structure.
As a German-to-English translator, I specialize in the following fields:
- academic (humanities) texts
- history (especially modern history)
- computing/software
- video games (in-game text, press releases, games journalism, and so on)
