Proofreading/Editing
Editing
In addition to my proofreading services, editing also includes a thorough review of stylistic and formal accuracy of your German text(s) (readability, fluency, consistency, etc.). I examine and revise your text in terms of style, expression, wording, stringency, clarity, coherence, structure and organisation as well as the general comprehensibility of the text.
For example, convoluted and difficult to understand run-on sentences can often be divided into shorter and more concise sentences. In addition, inappropriate colloquial phrases and unnecessary word repetitions will be removed or replaced.

However, my editing services do not include any detailed review of the content or the verification of any footnotes and citations (especially in case of scientific proofreading and editing). Specialised editorial offices usually offer these services. Such editing will only be carried out in exceptional cases (e.g. if the texts match my fields of study) and for an additional charge.
I am pleased to offer my support in optimising your texts and will be available by e-mail or by request on location (within Berlin). In urgent cases, I will also be available by phone outside office hours under most circumstances.
