Hi there! I am an American Native English copy editor and proofreader whose work has been used in/by some of the world's: - ✅ Leading book publishers and news publications (Abrams Books, BBC News, Forbes) - ✅ High ranking academic journals and institutions (ASCE Library, The US Chamber of Commerce, AAAS) - ✅ Top businesses, brands, and websites (PetSmart, Netflix Originals, PILOT Inc.) ...and I’m very excited to help bring your own writing to life today! I provide you with masterful copy editing, error-free proofreading, and professional formatting - all on a fast turnaround time. With me, you can be sure you're getting the highest quality English editing on the market. My editing process is done entirely by hand, combing through each word and every comma to expertly copy edit and transform your writing into the most professional, powerful, and engaging document possible. What separates great editing from good editing isn't just catching errors, but knowing when to hold back. My job isn't to rewrite your work in my voice; it's to find the strongest version of yours and bring it to the surface. After 500+ projects, I've developed an instinct for exactly where a piece loses momentum, where a sentence is working harder than it needs to, and where a single word change makes a paragraph land the way it was always meant to. Some words from a few of my happy clients: ⭐ - "Lindsey was EXCELLENT! I would highly recommend for any of your editing needs. Flexible, intelligent, highly skilled and all around a great person to work with!" ⭐ - "Lindsey did great work, my book went #1 in 12 Amazon Bestselling categories! and his finishing touches were a great investment!" ⭐ - "Lindsey is the quintessential editor. I could not recommend him more. Such a great guy to work with, very detailed, and eager to overdeliver. And overdeliver is what he did. You will not be disappointed by the level of skill and expertise he offers. One of the best people I've worked with here on Upwork." ⭐ - "Lindsey is legit. He said he could tackle my problem editing with his xp and he most certainly did. Laid out his initial opinion and about the time it should take him then went to work. Not only was it effective, it was extremely prompt. If I ever need an editor again he will have first dibs. No question." ⭐ - "Always great working with Lindsey. Turnaround time is super quick and the work is high class." ⭐ - "I cannot say enough about Lindsey's ability to elevate my writing. If you want to communicate clearly and concisely, Lindsey is the writer and editor you need. Thank you again, Lindsey! :)" ⭐ - "As always, brilliant work. I can trust Lindsey with any writing project and know it will come back sounding and looking AMAZING!" Some examples of services I can provide, broken down by category: ACADEMIC: Editing and proofreading, including paper, dissertation, thesis, essay, and research report revisions. APA 6 and 7, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago Manual of Style formatting are all specialties that I can easily handle! ADMISSIONS: School and university admissions essay coaching, MBA, job application, resume, and CV editing; personal statements and statements of purpose AI CONTENT: Editing and bringing a human touch to enhance AI-generated drafts and make them publishing-ready ARTICLES AND BLOGS: Working with you to find your unique author’s voice and help fine-tune your content to be clear and compelling. I'm deeply familiar with AP Style and Chicago (CMOS) best practices, but I can also quickly interface with custom or in-house style conventions! BOOKS: Fiction and non-fiction book editing and proofreading; short story, epic novel, or autobiography BUSINESS: Correspondence (including B2B), marketing material, and product text, as well as corporate websites, internal documents, email campaigns, content and news articles, sales, and newsletters DEVELOPMENTAL: Assessing content at a high level to help develop ideas, structure, and narrative resonance GRANT WRITING: Polishing grant documents to be persuasive, professional, and clear SCIENTIFIC and MEDICAL: Science and medical proofreading, copy editing, and fact-checking TECHNICAL: Technical editing of internal documentation, manuals, whitepapers, and reports WEBSITES: Website content editing and proofreading across all types of genres and design styles - AND MORE (Don't see your project type listed? Reach out - chances are I can help!) I’m also available on retainer for ongoing or high-priority editing needs. Ready to get started? Send me a message with a brief description of your project (document type, word count, and any deadlines I should know about) and I'll get back to you within 24 hours. I'd love to take a look!

How much does it cost to hire a grammar specialist?

English grammar freelancers are professional writers or copywriters who specialize in English grammar. These experts in English grammar ensure that written documents are free of grammatical errors. This may involve proofreading academic writings or other materials like LinkedIn social media profiles. 

English grammar freelancers may also guide clients on improving their writing skills, offer English language content writing services, or specialize in creative writing editing. Whatever their specific focus, English grammar freelancers play an essential role in ensuring that written English is error-free.

Hourly rates for English grammar freelancers on Upwork range from $15 to $50, but the average cost can be higher for those with years of experience teaching English in the field. 

What impacts the cost of hiring an English grammar freelancer?

English grammar can be tricky, and even native English speakers can make mistakes. Fortunately, there are full-time English grammar freelancers who can help you avoid making embarrassing errors within your content marketing pieces and beyond. However, if you want to hire freelancers to write and edit your work, the prices can range based on some of the below factors.

Experience and expertise

If you're looking for someone to proofread a document or edit an important email, you'll want to find an English grammar freelancer with extensive experience with editing jobs and copywriting. More experienced freelancers will likely charge higher hourly rates, but they'll also be able to get the job done more quickly and efficiently.

Depth of editing

Do you need your freelancer to proofread your document simply for grammatical errors or do you need them to provide in-depth editing and feedback on your newest online course? If you only need a light edit, you may be able to find a less experienced freelance editor who can do the job at a lower cost. However, if you need comprehensive editing services, expect to pay more for a freelancer who has more work experience.

Scope of work 

To get an accurate quote for your project, be sure to provide your freelance writer with as much detail as possible about what you need. The more information they have, the better they'll be able to assess the scope of work and give you an accurate estimate.

Timeline 

The faster you need your document edited, the more it will cost. If you have a tight deadline, communicate this to your content writer so they can give you an accurate estimate.

Geography 

English grammar freelancers in the U.S. typically charge higher rates than in other countries. This is because the cost of living is generally higher in the U.S., and English is often their native language. 

Popular English grammar costs and examples 

Below are some popular examples of English grammar projects and their respective costs. The typical process for editing all of these projects follows the same pattern, but the cost will vary depending on the freelancer's experience, scope, and turnaround time. Some of the more common part-time freelancer gigs include:

  • Editing a 2,000-word document for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors: $100-$200.
  • Proofreading a 5,000-word article for grammar mistakes: $250-$500.
  • Editing a 10,000-word ebook for grammatical errors: $500-$1,000.
  • Providing feedback and editing suggestions on a 20,000-word manuscript: $1,000-$2,000.

These prices are just estimates—the actual cost of your project will depend on many of the factors listed above. To get an accurate quote for your project, be sure to provide your freelancer with as much detail as possible about what you need.
