Hi! My name is Sarah.

I’ve been a full-time editor/proofreader for more than eight years, and I’m excited to apply my expertise to help make your writing as clear and compelling as possible.

I work with writers to perfect documents of all kinds, from journal articles to conference papers to business case studies and beyond. Whether English is your first or second language, and whatever your field, I look forward to working with you!
