Diane B.
Editing & Proofreading Services | Qualified English Nonfiction Editor
I am: A qualified freelance English (UK/US/NZ) editor and proofreader (DipEdit) of nonfiction content with a special interest in biographical, historical and medical projects. I also provide AI humanisation and English adaptation services. You will find me friendly, accommodating, and professional, with a healthy sense of humour. I am happy to charge per word or by the hour, and I can customise a contract to suit your requirements. After 24 years in the medical field, I am medically fluent and can competently edit your medical content. I enjoy the research, fact-checking and learning that nonfiction projects often require. My last project was a book about newsworthy deaths in New Zealand in the early 1800s. Most of my services include a plagiarism check and AI detection: - developmental editing - line editing - copyediting - proofreading - medical editing - AI-humanisation editing - NZ English adaptation NOTE: The human touch goes beyond AI's capabilities. Editing AI is only as good as the human using it. I only use Grammarly as a final check before returning your project, like an extra pair of proofreader eyes. When I use Grammarly, I discover more of its many limitations, which gives me a few laughs while I work.
