About Russell

I am an experienced English rewriter, copyeditor, and English language trainer.

I also offer typesetting using open-source software, as well as support for independent (individuals, nonprofits, SMMEs) / in-house production of print and online media, including brochures, newsletters, and reports, among others, enabling self-publishing.

Additionally, I offer training and support in the above areas.

Over the past 25 years, I have worked as an editor and proofreader of English texts predominantly for non-native English users, and as a teacher of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) / English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

My skills include the following: proofreading, editing, manuscript revision, editing of theses and dissertations, editing of manuscripts, independent publication production, typesetting.
