About Me
I am a trained copy editor and proofreader with 8 years' experience, including for academic journals, a human rights organisation and a national exam board. I am looking for freelance research, proofreading or transcription work which can be completed via email or over the internet.
I am a native speaker of English with academic training in both physical and social sciences, and I am familiar with APA and ACS referencing styles. I have access to online journals and books in international relations, plus a wide selection of other books through several university libraries, for research. I have experience in transcribing interviews carefully and thoroughly.
Proofreading
I'm equally happy to work at any level of proofreading, from tidying up your spelling all the way through to academic article editing. I can also help re-phrase English if it's not your first language. I know standard printer's and proofreader's marks for annotating copy, if needed. I can correct in Word or I can mark up print-outs by hand, whichever you prefer.
Rate: Technical article with second language English, eight pounds fifty per 1000 words. I can do simpler assignments or those without bibliographies to check for less.
Interview transcription
I work from mp3 files and produce a line-numbered transcript in MS Word. Any phrases of which I'm unsure will be flagged with a comment. A computer programme is not used; I transcribe and check the whole file myself. I know how important it is to capture pauses, 'um's and interruptions etc. in the transcript as well as the content itself.
Rate: 50p per minute of audio. One hour of audio will take about 2 days to transcribe.
Research
Online research to answer a specific question or on a certain area of interest and provision of a final report in Word with citations. I also undertake research into companies, providing a spreadsheet summarising contact details or other requested information for as many companies as I can find in the time allotted.
Rate: five pounds fifty per hour.
Areas covered: Any areas covered as I work online.
