About this Gig
Publishing research in English as a second language is challenging. Your ideas deserve to be judged on their merit, not on grammar errors that obscure them.
I'm a U.S.-licensed attorney and academic editor with extensive experience editing graduate-level manuscripts for ESL researchers. My language background in intermediate Spanish, Latin, and structured literacy instruction gives me precise insight into grammar patterns that differ between English and other language families.
I correct grammar, syntax, and register while preserving your argument, terminology, and voice exactly as written.
COMMON ESL PATTERNS I CORRECT:
- Subject-verb agreement errors
- Uncountable noun errors (data, information)
- Article usage (a, an, the)
- Relative pronoun errors (who vs. which)
- Missing or incorrect prepositions
- Comparative adjective formation
- Run-on sentences and comma splices
DOCUMENT TYPES:
- Journal article manuscripts
- Research paper introductions and abstracts
- Theses and dissertations
- Literature reviews and research proposals
- Graduate school application essays
WHAT YOU GET:
- Tracked changes on every correction
- Margin comments explaining grammar rules

FAQ
Will you change my argument or rewrite my content?
No. My edits are strictly limited to grammar, syntax, punctuation, and academic register. Your argument, findings, and scholarly voice are preserved exactly as written. I correct, I do not rewrite.
What is an editorial summary?
Included in Standard and Premium orders, a brief note identifying recurring grammar patterns corrected throughout your document. Particularly useful for ESL writers who want to understand and improve their academic English over time.
What languages do you have experience with?
I have intermediate Spanish and a Latin language background, and work regularly with writers from Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese language backgrounds. I understand the specific grammar interference patterns common to each.
Do you provide a certificate of English language editing?
Yes — available as a gig extra. Many international journals require confirmation that a manuscript has been professionally edited by a native English speaker. I provide a signed certificate on request.
What citation styles do you work with?
APA 7, Chicago 17, MLA 9, and Vancouver for health sciences. Specify your required style guide when ordering, and I will flag citation inconsistencies throughout your manuscript.
Can you edit my thesis or dissertation as well?
Yes — though for full dissertations over 10,000 words I recommend my dedicated dissertation editing gig which includes packages specifically sized for longer manuscripts with extended turnaround times.
