My professional background includes quality, detailed editing and proofreading of many theses, book chapters and journal articles in recent years. My editing experience is in Business and Finance, Management, Economics, Medical Research, IT, Engineering, Science, Bioscience, Mathematics, Philosophy, Architecture, Social Science, Tourism, Nursing, Education, and all Arts faculty subjects. I also edit resumes and job applications.

I do high-quality editing in MS Word using ‘Track Changes’, and use ‘Comments’ for explanations when necessary. I also edit in pdf.

My services include spelling, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary, expression, document structure and organisation, clarity and flow, text formatting, layout, references, and bibliography. I offer obligation-free quotes on receipt of manuscript samples and respond to all queries.

Prior to becoming a professional editor and member of the Australian Society for Technical Communication and Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd), I was a Head of English with Education Queensland, tutor and U.Q. PhD candidate (Philosophy), academic researcher and writer, and TESOL teacher.
