Elizabeth Meyer zu Heringdorf – Editor

I'm an agile and experienced copy editor who can help make your technology, business, or academic writing the best that it can be!

Overview

I have over 14 years' experience proofreading and copy editing native and non-native English-language business, technology, and academic texts. I help make books, e-books, and doctoral dissertations elegantly simple and easy to read, whether they are about engineering, the Internet of Things, or the nineteenth-century slave trade. My enthusiastic clients include college professors, businesspeople, and technical writers all over the world; I work with direct clients, proofreading agencies, and publishing houses, including Pearson Education.I excel at maintaining your personal voice and style while eliminating grammatical errors and content inconsistencies at many different levels. If you'd like an extensive copy edit, I can dig in and rewrite to ensure fluidity and ease of language. If you need a final polish, I can read through for typos, blips, and the odd turn of phrase that deftly needs a subtle rewrite. While I strictly adhere to deadlines, I'm easy to work with. And if your native language isn't English, I can ensure that your audience will never know!
