About Stephen

Featured

I have 20 years' experience of proofreading, copy editing and development editing in ELT, EAP and related fields. During that time I have lived and worked in East Asia and Spain, as well as the UK, and have worked with authors and editorial teams from a wide variety of countries, nationalities and backgrounds.

I am currently looking to expand my work into other areas – in particular, academic publishing – making use of my degree and masters level subject knowledge (see Subjects section) and extensive experience of academic writing tuition to undergraduate, masters and doctoral students in UK universities.
