I will proofread and edit your academic articles as a linguist
MA Linguist and Metal Artist: Perfecting your text and your sound
About this Gig
Is your groundbreaking research getting lost in complicated English?
Nothing gets a paper rejected faster than poor grammar, awkward phrasing, or unclear argumentation. You don't just need a native speaker; you need a language expert.
I am an English teacher and a linguist (MA Student). Unlike generic proofreaders who rely solely on "intuition," I analyze your writing through an academic lens. I understand why a sentence fails syntactically or semantically. I bridge the gap between your complex ideas and clear, publishable English.
I specialize in: Theses, Dissertations, Journal Articles, and Conference Papers (Humanities & Social Sciences).
What I fix: Grammar & Syntax: Correcting errors in tense, agreement, and structure.
Flow & Coherence: Restructuring awkward sentences for logical progression.
Academic Tone: Elevating language to a formal register (vocabulary upgrade).
Clarity: Eliminating ambiguity so your argument lands with impact.

FAQ
What is the difference between Proofreading and Editing?
Proofreading (Basic Package) focuses on surface-level errors: grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typos. Editing (Standard/Premium) goes deeper: I improve sentence structure, academic flow, vocabulary choice, and clarity to ensure your arguments are logical and persuasive.
Will you rewrite my paper or add new content?
No. To maintain academic integrity, I do not write papers from scratch or conduct research for you. My job is to refine your existing ideas and language so they can be presented in the best possible way.
Do you use AI (ChatGPT or Gemini etc.) to edit my work?
No. As a linguist, I rely on my expertise in syntax and semantics to edit your work manually. The stylistic and structural improvements come from human analysis to preserve your unique voice.
What file formats do you accept?
I prefer Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) documents. This allows me to use the "Track Changes" feature, so you can clearly see every correction and suggestion I make.
Can you format my citations (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)?
Yes! If you need citation formatting, please select the Standard or Premium package or add it as an "Extra" during checkout. Please specify which style guide you are following.
