Experience

I have been a veterinarian for fifteen years and have expertise in reading and writing technical articles.  Being a native English speaker with a writing and scientific background, I can edit technical, business and personal documents clearly, even when the author may be struggling with English as his or her second language.

In my eight years as an editor for English grammar and usage, I have specialized in documents relating to the medical and veterinary fields.  However, I also have edited numerous documents and manuscripts for very satisfied, repeat customers in the fields of economics, genetics, linguistics, statistics and computer technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my edited document?

Editing time will depend upon the document's length and how many changes are needed.  Turnaround time can range from 1 day to 7 or 8 days.

How do I pay my editing bill?

Payment is due upon receipt of your edited document.  You may pay in US dollars via an international postal money order, a check drawn on a bank with a branch within the US, or through the PayPal service (a secure email payment service available in many countries).

What if there are parts of the manuscript which the editor does not understand?

If I have questions about what the author is trying to convey in a sentence or passage, I will return the edited manuscript with additional notes or suggestions about the area in question.
