I specialize in copy-editing articles for high-ranking journals as well as entire academic books or theses. I can help you get your manuscripts published by providing the following standard editing services:
- Correcting grammar and typos
- Making stylistic changes to improve register, sentence structure and paragraphing
- Fact-checking details such as names of people, places or institutions, dates and figures, etc.
- Flagging inconsistencies or unnecessary repetition
- Checking figures, tables and illustrations and ensuring everything matches up with the main text
- Tracking changes, highlighting anything that is unclear and providing written feedback for the author(s) in the form of comments
- Adapting a text to follow the relevant style guide such as CMOS, APA, MLA or OUP, etc. (US or UK English as required)
- Responding to any follow-up questions the author(s) may have (by email or phone as requested)
I am also happy to provide the following additional services:
- Editing grant applications
- Developmental editing of manuscripts
- Editing authors’ responses to reviewers’ comments if requested
- Putting together a book manuscript and creating a table of contents if required
- Final proofreading of manuscripts if requested
I also edit professional translations into English from German and Czech, comparing the target text with the original. I now offer machine translation post-editing (MTPE), too.
