I offer a comprehensive service in the proofreading and copy editing of a wide range of documents, including:

    - Articles & essays
    - Letters
    - Theses & dissertations
    - Personal statements
    - Books
    - Monographs
    - Creative prose & poetry
    - Applications & reports

    I work with a sensitivity towards both technical subjects and the author's intended meaning, ensuring that the arguments and ideas of each work remain intact.

    I will examine the spelling, grammar, and syntax of your work, and will recommend any changes that will bring greater clarity, accuracy, and elegance to the writing of both native speakers and anyone using English as a second language. I will carefully and thoroughly read through your work and provide thoughtful tracked changes and detailed commentary to explain my thinking and to help you improve your writing.

    I hold an MA (Hons) (2010) and an MSc by Research (2012) in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh and have completed over 120 hours of Teaching English as a Foreign Language courses. Professionally, I have worked as Assistant Editor at the 'University of Edinburgh Journal' for eight years and as an Illustrator for the Aberdeen-based DS Design Studio Ltd.

    Please get in touch with a description of your project and a sample of your writing. From this, I will be able to produce an accurate quotation and delivery schedule for your review.

    You can learn more about my experience, credentials, and read some testimonials from past clients on my website at: www.jrsutherland.com

      Near to twenty years ago I started writing a book which I never got round to finishing. This was for several reasons, the first is that no one close to you wants to read your work and give an honest opinion, they would rather stay friends. Secondly, your work is rarely as good as you think it is in the early stages of draft. The third reason is that having your work criticised can be hard to swallow.
      John remained upbeat and professional throughout, he was patient and supportive of my way of writing.
      Originally my words were written for an audience with very different values, John helped me modernise the attitudes and behaviours.
      Most of all I appreciated John’s straight forward and clear communication, this allowed me to focus on the story and where it needed to go to maximise the target audience.

      I will certainly use John again.

      Many thanks for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work together, and I hope to do so again in the future.
