The author of seven published books (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over twelve years' editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers on all kinds of different projects - fiction, non-fiction, self-help books, academic, scientific and religious texts.
Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your 40,000-word paper in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more technical edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice etc. And thirdly, a final edit to ensure that your m/s has that essential professional polish.
Additional info: I'm a native English speaker, use Track Changes in Word, and can start right away
