Proofreading and copy-editing official documents

Academic and cultural institutions, government departments and agencies publish a range of documents. These can include course materials, conference proceedings, reports, booklets, exhibition labels, and catalogues. It is essential for such documents to be presented perfectly.

What I can do for you

If you are responsible for producing official documents and need help in perfecting them, I can ensure that the text:

• Is free of errors
• Is pitched at the correct level for the intended reader
• Is written in the style of a native English speaker
• Follows an agreed style guide
• Contains correctly formatted references
• Is consistent throughout

If your institution does not have a style sheet or a referencing guide, I can help you to develop one, and then apply it consistently throughout the text.

My experience in this area

Having worked in educational administration in my early career, and combined my subsequent lecturing post with a three-year stint as an academic head of department, I have had considerable experience in writing and checking official documents. In my capacity as an editor, I have copy-edited and proofread a variety of documents for institutions.
