TESTIMONIAL

​

Dr Ivor Timmis

Reader in English Language Teaching

​

Dawn brought a meticulous professionalism to the proof-editing of my 75,000 word book and did it at express pace to meet a tight deadline. She has a great eye for detail and the academic background to understand the conventions which should be followed. I felt so much more confident about the presentation and layout of the book after Dawn had worked on it.

BIOGRAPHY

​

As a linguist, university lecturer and fully qualified English language teacher with many years of experience in working with British and international students in the UK and overseas, I am well aware of the language issues writers of several different first languages may face when writing in English. I have also published and presented widely, mainly on subjects relating to languages, English language teaching, independent learning and employability, so am well aware of academic conventions.

​

I am an English (UK) native speaker, a qualified proofreader and a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
