editor

With so many editing companies and freelancers offering their services, the one thing for certain is that you get what you pay for. A low rate can mean little more than a spellcheck and a pass through Grammarly.com. When you hire me as your freelancer, you get a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER with: • academic credentials (B.S., M.S., PhD from major public universities in the U.S.) • 20+ years professional experience writing, reviewing, and editing • experience as a published researcher and educator in both sciences & humanities • deep knowledge of English grammar based on teaching other languages • understanding of various style guides (APA, Chicago, etc.) • knowledge of various forms of English (British, American, Australian, Canadian) • extensive experience helping non-native speakers publish in English • one of Upwork’s Top-Rated freelancers with a 100% success rate Whether you are a researcher seeking to publish in an academic journal, a student completing a paper, thesis, or dissertation, a web designer making sure that your site reads well, a marketer who needs product profiles to be error-free, or anyone else trying to communicate in a professional manner, I can polish your prose to perfection quickly (usually within 24-48 hours for 10-20,000 words) and for a reasonable price. I guarantee flawless grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation, and I can assist with the logical flow of ideas. I am also happy to provide a sample edit for free. My posted hourly rate is approximate; in most cases I prefer to work on a per-word basis, usually $0.02-0.04USD (2-4 cents) per word of original text, depending on the extent of editing required. [Please note that my skill set does not extend to creating content or to rewriting text in order to get around anti-plagiarism software. The minimum charge for any contract is $20.] Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! Best wishes, James
