Editing

I provide both editing and proofreading services that can be adjusted to your needs. I’m happy to read for students, creative writers, and academics of many kinds: I can proofread copy, help edit your dissertation, or offer creative feedback on your novel.

This is an arrangement for written feedback; for information about live teaching sessions, see Tutoring. I can check your work for whatever you want, including but not limited to: grammar, style, clarity, organization, development of ideas, and formatting. I’ll provide specific comments and constructive criticism, focused on improving the quality of your work. 

My base rates are listed below, and at the bottom of the page you’ll find the contact form. Base rates can be negotiated for large-scale or long-term projects.

Standard proofreading: £18/hour, or £9/1,000 words

This covers corrections and in-line comments on grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. I can also make recommendations about wording, style, and formatting as desired.

Advanced editing: £25/hr, or £12/1,000 words.

This includes all of the standard proofreading, as well as an assessment of your work on a bigger scale: structure, organization, ideas, use of evidence, and so on. I’m happy to check anything that you’re particularly concerned about, including rhetoric and meeting the goals of the particular situation.
