Hello,
I run my services from the Indian city of Calcutta and bring to the table more than two decades of editing experience at several English newspapers.
I am much more active on Elance than I am here. I would like to edit your document to your requirements. Particularly, I would do the following to polish your text:
i) See to it that the sentences had subject-verb agreement and uniform verb tense, proper pronouns and pronoun-antecedent agreement, and no misplaced or dangling modifiers;
ii) Deal with syntactic errors, wordy expressions, and inappropriate phrasing;
iii) Fine-tune and tighten the language;
iv) Correct improper usage of words (affect/effect, their/there, its/it’s);
v) Take care of misspelling/typos; and
vi) Use proper punctuation.
I work on MS Word and have a rigorous approach to editing. I edit a piece in FINAL-SHOWING-MARKUP mode with the TRACK CHANGES always on. After I have edited a piece, I make two passes through it resolving unattended issues.
I’m a former business journalist with 26+ years of desk experience at four major English dailies in India, and a company that provides editing services online. I have a BA (Hons) degree in English literature.
Regards,
Writeman4it
