Hello there. I'm Cathy Tingle and, as my title suggests, I’m a doctor (of English) and an editor. I have copy-edited more than 80 non-fiction books for Palgrave, Routledge and others, and I hope to be editing until I retire.Cathy is far and away the best copy-editor with whom I have ever worked. She is highly professional, and the manuscript was greatly improved after her editing. In addition to catching errors, Cathy’s revisions improved the readability of the book significantly. She made me feel like I was collaborating with a colleague. I highly recommend her!
Hello there. Do take a seat.
How's the patient?Whether you think there’s nothing wrong with your beloved manuscript or you’re well aware of its many infirmities, most academic writing could do with a health check – a second opinion to see that it’s consistent, clear and correct.
As it goes to proof stage, your work will need to be of a certain standard – in the pink rather than peaky. Ideally, it could do with a clean bill of health. And that’s where DocEditor can help.
