Writing in English as a second or additional language?
I provide specialist editorial support for writers who need additional help communicating effectively in English.
Choose the level of support you need
The level depends on how much editorial support your document needs — from a focused final review to substantial restructuring and refinement.
🔹 LEVEL 1
Proofreading & Focused Review
For documents that are fundamentally sound and need professional proofreading or precise, light-touch refinement.
I review clarity, flow, consistency, grammar, punctuation and phrasing, making light adjustments where needed while leaving the substance and overall structure substantially unchanged.
👉 Best for: final checks, polished drafts and near-complete documents.
🔹 LEVEL 2
Structured Edit
For documents where the substance is there but the communication needs more work.
I look more deeply at organisation, clarity, emphasis and development, helping the document communicate its message more effectively. The degree of direct intervention will depend on the type and purpose of the document.
👉 Best for: work that needs clearer organisation, stronger delivery or more substantial editorial attention.
🔹 LEVEL 3
Full Editorial Review
For documents requiring substantial editorial intervention.
I assess the document as a whole against its purpose, identified audience and planned outcome, addressing significant weaknesses in structure, clarity, argument, emphasis or presentation. The precise scope of intervention depends on the nature of the document and any applicable restrictions.
👉 Best for: substantial or complex documents requiring comprehensive editorial review.
The scope of each level varies according to the type of document. For assessed academic work, editing is always subject to the relevant institution’s rules.
