Proofreading and Editing

Rosetta Stones Freelancing provides a variety of proofreading and editing services, specializing in scientific and academic editing.

Whether you're a business owner who wants your website copy to be clean and professional, an exchange student who isn't sure about your grammar, or a scientist who wants a fresh pair of eyes to proofread your scientific paper and make sure all the references match the figures, I can help.

I have presented first-authored abstracts at the Geological Society of America annual meeting and the Federal Fossil Resources Conference, and have provided proofreading and editing service for scientific abstracts, academic papers, and popular science articles. Upon request, I can provide contact information for previous clients.

I can conform to any style guide, including AP, MLA, APA, Chicago, and various scientific style guides. If your style guide is unusual, I may require a copy.
