Why spend your time copyediting or proofreading when you could focus on running your business? Offering copyediting and proofreading services, I provide that extra expertise so you have one less thing to worry about. I work with businesses, publishers, academics, and court reporters in UK, US, and Canadian English, and I have a special interest in the travel and environmental fields.

Take advantage of my environmental and business knowledge and experience when you need to edit corporate, sustainability or environmental reports, business and marketing documents, or academic articles and theses. You will benefit from an experienced copyeditor and proofreader with specific knowledge in these fields but without the big agency fees.

“Christina is thoroughly professional and very easy to work with. She will tell you exactly what to expect and when, and deliver exactly that (oftentimes more and earlier).”

Perhaps you write your own business materials. Maybe you produce reports for clients, or draft marketing materials to engage with your audience and to generate new business. Or you may have spent months and years on your research paper or PhD thesis.

I’m sure you write well. But it is almost impossible to copyedit and proofread your own work. You know what you are trying to say, so little errors and mistakes creep in without you realising, making them difficult to spot. As a trained, Advanced Professional Member of the CIEP, this is where I can help.

• Initial enquiry. You get in touch to let me know a little more about what you need. This could be a quick once-over of a document or a more detailed copyedit. It will also be good to know whether you have a particular style guide that you want me to work with (such as CMOS or APA7), the number of words, and what your deadline is.
• Sample edit. I will ask you for the document to do a sample edit, particularly if we haven’t worked together before. This way I can better understand what level of input you need from me. I work in Word (for copyediting) and on PDFs (for proofreading).
• Proposal. Based on that information and the sample edit, I will send you a quote. If you’re happy to go ahead, then…
• Copyediting/proofreading. This is where I go quiet while I work on your document. Once I’m done, I will be back in touch with a marked-up copy for you to review.

“Christina’s editing services are exceptional, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate the quality of their academic work. As a PhD candidate, I handed Christina a complex thesis representing years of work in the field of innovation management. She skilfully turned it into a polished, professional document.”
