I am a native English speaker and full-time academic editor with a PhD in the social sciences. I have edited over 800 papers, book chapters, reports, books and dissertations in the social sciences, humanities and beyond.
Most (but not all) of my customers are not native speakers of English and need language editing for the correctness and readability of their academic English expression.
I also format manuscripts to recognised standards (such as APA) or to the specific requirements of the targeted journal, book editor, institution or publisher.
Specialist in preparing manuscripts for publication, providing: (a) English language editing and proofreading; and (b) copyediting to recognised standards (APA, Chicago Manual of Style etc.) or custom publisher requirements.
I work across the humanities and social sciences, and have particular experience in the following disciplines:
Social Sciences
Diligent, detailed, careful copy editing work, including adherence to Journal's specifications.
Arts & Humanities
I've worked with Stephen as a proofreader for several papers and his work is always impeccable.
Business, Accounting & Finance
Dr. Acreman did a great job with editing the article. Along with improving the language and structure of the paper, he also helped with adherence to the journal's guidelines.
Arts & Humanities
Stephen did a great job proofreading my paper: very thorough corrections, suggestions and comments.
Dr Stephen Acreman is an Australian native English speaker with a PhD from Monash University in Melbourne. He is now based in Leeds, United Kingdom.
