Cardinal Editorial
Legal, business and academic editing services for businesses and individuals
The importance of expert editing
A second pair of eyes can improve any text - and improve your relationship with clients. Many businesses and individuals are reluctant to publish in English as non-native speakers. That need not be the case.
Experienced professional editing
I have over 15 years experience in legal, academic and business publishing as an editor of texts written both by and for professionals, with clients and authors from around the world.
Flexibility
I can meet all editorial needs, from a simple proofread to a complete re-write. I can accommodate both short-term ad-hoc projects with fast turn arounds, as well as long-term collaborations.
Legal and academic qualifications
I have postgraduate qualifications in English law and Philosophy. A native English speaker, I am fluent in German and am a German resident.
Cost-effectiveness
As a freelancer, feel free to contact me directly to discuss your individual needs.
Services
I offer a full range of English-language editorial services to both business and individuals, covering both academic texts and professional business and legal publications. I typically specialise in texts written by non-native speakers, including those who may have relied on some form of machine translation or similar assistance.
My services include:
- Proofreading for simple spelling and grammar mistakes.
- Editing for a clear easy-to-read but appropriately formal style.
- Ensuring the text content makes clear sense to the expected reader. For instance, in an international legal or business publication, the expected reader may have a relevant background but would not have a detailed understanding of local law or practice.
- Where necessary or requested, liaising with the author to quickly resolve potential ambiguities or other problems.
