John K.
Experienced translator (English/Swahili)
I speak fluent English and have experience in writing academic and research articles for five years. Having studied linguistics and literature in college, I have a keen eye on grammar and cohesion in texts and articles. I proofread and edit articles for grammar, copy editing in manuscripts and books, aligning writings, as well as writing editorial sections of the work. Having worked as the editor of a magazine, I have learned a lot of useful tips that enable me to produce a correct, cohesive and complete work for my clients. As an avid reader who enjoys a good flow in fictional and non fictional works, I guide writers to adopt a certain plot and advice them on how they could make necessary changes and alterations in order to come up with a piece that will be interesting to readers.
