About Claire J
About
With over 7 years' experience of copyediting and proofreading academic content (e.g. textbooks, journal articles, research papers and theses), you can be sure that I will clearly and concisely communicate your message in your voice.
I graduated from the University of Stirling with an MLitt in Publishing Studies in 2017 and then worked in Prepress Projects (a publishing services company) for just under 3 years. Since 2020, I have been working freelance.
Most of my experience has comprised editing medical journals and textbooks, and editing the writing of authors who are using English as a second language. Other areas of experience are EU reports, business reports, schoolbooks and medical and veterinary textbooks.
