Bio


I am a professional ardent book
reviewer, editor, translator, and transcription work. I do book reviews, editing,
proofreading, translations, transcription, and writing. I have a blog where I
advertise my freelance professional review services with samples of previous
work done. Kindly check the attached samples.
I am also an international
development professional with fifteen years’ experience in Tax Justice and
Policy analysis, Advocacy, Lobby and Campaign, Youth-led activism, Governance
and Leadership, Environmental Planning, and Management and Health and safety
management.

 I have a BSc and MA in
Environmental Planning and Management. 
If given a proofreading and editing assignment, for example, my
strategy will include;
-The document is evaluated
substantively as a whole, and problems of structure, organization, coherence,
and logical consistency are corrected. Sentences may be removed or added.
Paragraphs may be rewritten, condensed, or expanded. Blocks of text may be
moved from one section to another.

-Use of copy editing, which
corrects problems of grammar, style, repetition, word usage, and jargon.

-Proofreading for minor
errors which may include: errors of grammar and style, errors of
capitalization, punctuation, errors of spelling, and word usage.

-Amending the document text
to ensure that it complies with the required format.

-Citations are also checked
to ensure that each citation that appears in the list of citations also appears
in the text.

-Critical reviewing for
repetitiveness, ambiguity, or incomplete information amongst others.

-General feedback which
usually includes a very strong critique.
