Proofreading

I will review your text in its final format and correct mechanical errors such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This is your last step before publishing.

Copy-editing

I will review a draft of your text and make suggestions for stylistic improvements, such as tone, clarity, and structure. I will also correct any mechanical errors present. A focus on plain language can be included at this stage.

Developmental editing

I will review your draft or source material and help develop your text. I will ask critical questions and make suggestions about language, format, readability, etc. This is done in the early stages of creating your text. A focus on plain language can be included at this stage.

Do you need to make your text easier to understand? Learn more about what I do with my focus on plain language.


Depending on your project, I can also help you with:

  • copy-writing
  • German-English translation
  • private English lessons.
