Having spent two decades teaching and researching at a leading British university, I have decided to go freelance. I have excellent written English, a real eye for spotting mistakes and errors in documents, and I am a talented proof-reader and editor. I have, after all, spent twenty years helping students with just these kinds of issues. I am available for proof-reading work, for writing and editing jobs, for freelance research projects and to help you prepare presentations (I have good powerpoint skills, for instance). I'm also happy to be contacted by students who need help with their written work - perhaps English isn't your first language and you need assistance with your academic writing. I won't write your essay for you - but I will help you bring your research, writing and editing skills up to standard.

    Area Covered: Proof-reading, writing, research, editing


    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Job Title: Senior Lecturer
    Company: University of Bristol, UK
    Description: From 1997 until 2011, I was a senior lecturer in history at the University of Bristol, one of the UK's leading universities. Prior to this I worked both at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester. I have a 1st class Masters degree in History and a (prize-winning) PhD. I am a published, prize-winning author. My work at the University of Bristol fell into 3 main categories: teaching, administration and research. I have excellent skills in all 3. My communication and presentation skills are top-rate - I won a university prize for my teaching for example. My job also demanded outstanding research skills and spoken and written English of the highest standard. I worked with students to help them edit, manage, structure and improve their own written work so I have many years of experience as an editor and proof-reader. I also have skills in transcription (oral history interviews). Finally, having spent years in archives working with old records, I also have a marked ability for deciphering and transcribing hand-written documents.
    From:01/Sep/1997 To:30/Sep/2011

    Education Summary: 1990: MA (Hons) History, University of Edinburgh, 1st class
    1995: PhD (History), University of Edinburgh (prize-winning thesis)

      Kirsty did an excellent job in proof-reading and editing my grant application. She was very quick getting the job done and kept me informed about the progress. She is highly skilled in proof-reading and editing texts and I can recommend her without hesitation.
