About me
As an experienced freelance language editor I specialise in editing English texts, both academic and non-academic, that have been written by non-native English speakers. I also undertake the localisation of US or other forms of English into British English.

I undertake work for various universities and institutes in the international arena, including the Catholic University of Leuven, the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, the International Review of Social History and the University of Utrecht.


My main fields of academic specialisation:

• History
• Social sciences
• Business
• Market research
• Journalism

However I am willing to work on any non-technical subject and my general knowledge is excellent.

In addition to my academic specialisms my non-academic work has included:

• business documents, including self-assessment reports
• sales brochures
• tourism websites
• computer game text
• song lyrics
• college prospectuses
• university references

I have access to several style guides, language tools and reference works and adapt my work to fit with the style of the piece. I always aim to ensure that the final document reads clearly and fluently without losing the author's meaning. I complete every piece of work to the highest standard, on time, on every occasion.
