Leon Szymanski

Profile

With over 25 years of editing and writing experience working in-house and as a freelancer, I can offer versatility, around-the-clock turnaround, and consistent high-quality service. My services include: substantive editing, copyediting, proofreading, indexing and writing.

I have worked in both private and public sectors, editing marketing communications (brochures, white papers, presentations, specifications sheets, press releases, web sites) as well as technical manuals and documents (product manuals and booklets, user guides, training material, user aids, online help, corporate standards and style sheets, indexes).

I have also provided editing services for the academic and creative communities, focusing on proposals, papers, presentations/speeches and books of fiction.

Note that I have clients whose first language is not English, and I do appreciate the challenge for these writers.

From start to finish (from the outline stage through to draft and right to the final version) or anywhere in between, I can help you accomplish your goals.
