Thorough proofreading and editing
Hello, I’m Ariane!
For over a decade, I have been proofreading and editing copy and content for clients, including the United Nations, the UK Government, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., as well as entrepreneurs and small businesses across the world. Prior to going freelance full-time, I worked in communications at the University of Oxford for six years.
I have also had the privilege of working with academics in the arts, humanities, and social sciences on papers, journal articles, PhD theses/dissertations, and books.
I have edited books published by Bloomsbury, Oxford University Press, and De Gruyter, among others.

My Services
Fundamental: Proofreading
What’s the difference between a semi-colon and a colon? Spaces in weird places? Prepositions proving problematic? Proofreading encompasses checking spelling, grammar, and syntax — accuracy is key!
Standard: Line-editing (plus proofreading)
How’s your phrasing? Want to make sure every sentence flows and sounds natural? Are you a foreign speaker concerned about fluency? Want to ensure your emphasis is in the right place? Line-editing ticks/checks all of those boxes, analyzing internal sentence structure and flow.
Ultimate: Structural editing, plus proofreading and line-editing
Structure giving you grief? Paragraph placement causing pain? In-depth structural editing looks at the overall flow of the text.
