Welcome


My name is Alison Skinner, and I am a freelance proofreader based in East Lothian (just outside Edinburgh). I provide a reliable and professional proofreading service to publishers, students and businesses.

I welcome all manner of work from popular science to my specialist subjects of physics, mathematics and electronic engineering, and although science is my specialist area, I am also happy to take on work of a non-technical and non-scientific nature.

I have a BSc (Hons) in Physics from the University of Glasgow and I have been trained in proofreading by the Publishing Training Centre.

Everyone's writing benefits from proofreading – a fresh pair of eyes will pick up those errors to which the author, through being too close to their work, has become 'blind'. By checking your writing for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, consistency and clarity in meaning, I can help you make it easy for your readers to understand exactly what you are telling them – the first time they read it.
