What we would give to write well! Often we feel that words control us, and sometimes they do. Some would say that we are seldom in control of our words. This view can enrich the writing of imaginative literature, but is not very productive in the writing of academic/scientific discourse, where the emphasis is on clarity and concision.
Whether you want to write a conference paper, an article, or a dissertation/thesis in the human sciences, I can help you.I offer editing and proofreading services. I also show your errors in detail with comments so that you can learn how to improve.
Proofreading There are two main aspects of writing: meaning and language structure. In proofreading, the focus is on improving language structure, which involves correcting errors in spelling, usage and punctuation.
American English and British English spelling and usage are catered for.
Rates for proofreading
$2.50 (American) per 200 words.
Editing Editing requires more attention than proofreading because the emphasis in editing is on the clarity of meaning. This requires the rewriting of relevant sentences and passages.
Rates for editing Rates vary between $4 and $8 per 200 words depending on the amount of rewriting to be done.
