English proofreading by a native speaker

I concentrate mainly on academic texts, such as:

• Journal articles
• Book contributions
• PhD, MSc, BSc dissertations/theses
• Conference presentations

I will take on other projects too, such as websites, CVs, brochures, and more.

I have expertise in the areas of archaeology, palaeoanthropology, development studies, and earth sciences, but I will take on other academic subjects too. I also have particular experience of proofreading texts by German speakers.

I can proofread British or American English and can proofread texts for:

• Spelling
• Grammar
• Punctuation
• Style
• Sentence structure
• Word choice
• Consistency

I will also be on hand to personally answer any questions or queries you may have regarding your corrected text.

I'm Dr Adam Newton, a native English speaker from the UK. I have a PhD in Palaeoanthropology from the University of Liverpool. As a result, I am familiar with human anatomy, evolutionary biology, and archaeology. At undergraduate level I studied Environment and Development which provided me with a broad academic background in development studies, human geography, and earth sciences.

I have many years experience of proofreading of academic texts from my time as a study assistant for students with a disability at the University of Liverpool and when I worked for the Novel Materials group at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. From my time at the Humboldt-Universität I gained further experience of proofreading physics academic texts. I have been a freelance English language proofreader since 2017.
