Specialist Services for Academic Texts

My standard academic proofread includes all of the general checks for typos, errors, inconsistencies and issues with layout, captions, cross-references, house style, etc.

It also provides specialist scholarly attention to:

  • citation style
  • presentation and layout of quotations
  • footnotes/endnotes
  • bibliography/list of references.

Additionally, I can work on other aspects of your text, according to your needs. For example, I could:

  • proofread and/or check your index, or create an index from scratch from your proofs
  • switch a full manuscript text from one citation style to another
  • change footnotes into endnotes, or vice versa, and ensure the numbering remains correct
  • adjust style elements of full chapters or sections to achieve consistency in multi-authored works
  • comment on logic flow and readability, point out over-long sentences or paragraphs, or help you to reduce the word-count if your editor has asked you to make cuts
  • and much more! Contact me to discuss how I can help.

All my work is confidential and guided by the CIEP Code of Practice so you can be confident that you’re getting a high standard of professional, ethical service.

I can work with authors’ manuscripts or publishers’ proofs, so get in touch to find out how and when I could help you.
