I have seventeen years experience as a proofreader, revising, editing and, where necessary, substantially rewriting translated texts or original English texts written by either native or non-native speakers of English. In addition, as a published novelist with an academic background in both science and the humanities, I am sensitive to good style across a range of genres. In general, I pride myself on my ability to correct and revise both academic and non-academic texts to a high standard. By profession, I am a British school and university teacher with twenty-five years teaching experience, seventeen of these as a teacher of English language and academic writing at schools and universities in the Czech Republic.
