About me

English proofreading, copywriting and editing by a US native speaker and opinions

I am a freelance, native US American proofreader with many years' experience proofreading, editing & copywriting. I am stationed in Gdansk, but work online. I offer correction and editing of books and articles of most genres, including scientific and medical texts for journals, as well as business, IT, diploma papers, magazine articles, biographies, fiction books, movie scripts, etc.

Increase your chances for publication. I help Polish/foreign authors improve their writings and express themselves fluently in a full, natural manner, in proper English.

My aim is to make your text appear to be written by a native English speaker in correct English. Your work will be checked for grammatical and spelling errors as well as content, flow, style and clarity. For research papers I also help with correction of letters to the editor and replies to the peer review process.

My prices are quite reasonable and depend on the difficulty of the text and amount of work and correction needed. I offer a one-page free sample correction for longer texts. For a quick price estimate please send a copy of your work (preferably in a document format). All papers are treated as strictly private and confidential. Satisfaction guaranteed.

OPINIONS: Alex is a highly professional proofreader. When working with the text he not only pays attention to the style, and preciseness of English, but carefully follows the content suggesting a variety of improvements. The text corrected by Alex is lighter and easier to read making a scientific article gain much from the changes. Aside from the amendments and language advice Alex works with great speed. I recommend his service to anyone in the scientific field. (Professor Paweł Błasiak PhD, Institute of Nuclear Physics, Krakow)

I have been publishing scientific papers for over 10 years and used the help of many proofreaders and translators during that time. I regret that I did not work with Alex before, as I would certainly have avoided many unfavorable comments from reviewers. I value his fast and factual communication. He always keeps deadlines, which is of the utmost importance with the final amendments. Cooperation with Alex is a pleasure, but above all displays professionalism at the highest level.

Dear Alex, it is a great pleasure for me to cooperate with you and I am lucky that I found you. I have been impressed with your professionalism, contact with you has been perfect, I received corrected manuscripts very quickly after I sent them to you and your corrections were always clearly marked. You understand perfectly, all difficult medical language and reviewers never had any remarks regarding English language after you corrected my manuscripts. Once again thank you very much for all you did for me, without your help I would never have gotten my scientific works published. (Dr. Jarosław Stoliński, PhD.

Great news, another of our publications has just been accepted. Thanks so much for a wonderful job! Your experience and opinion mean much to me and I highly recommend you to others. (Krzysztof Zwoliński, PhD, supramolecular scientist and researcher)

Introduction from The Naked Mind- Shortcuts to Sales: Neuromarketing overview for profitability and business success (110 pages) "I would like to express my deep gratitude to Alex Solsbery for his time and great support writing this book."

Alex is an absolutely outstanding proofreader. He works as a team with his wife Dorota, for translations. He translated my auto-biographical book, Mirror Fragments (268 pages) including poetry and verses in an unimaginable way, so that the change in language became a transparent procedure. Alex enters the subject fully and listens with great patience to what the author intended, and as I must note, my book was extremely difficult material. Alex is always communicative, receptive and open. His work is always punctual, and prices overly reasonable, and I highly recommend his service. (Monika Kozińska-Osiecka - Sculptress & author).

Alex approached the difficult subject, of correction of our technical text in an extremely professional manner. The material contains about 800 pages of text describing issues of the intricate nature of information technology which requires much patience and perseverance from the corrector. In addition to well-made corrections, we received a good dose of constructive criticism from Alex. These comments have allowed us to trace those elements of English that required much additional work on our part. We've been working with Alex since September 2017 and there has never been a problem with timeliness. Working with Alex is a great pleasure for us and we sincerely recommend his services to anyone who needs professional correction of technical text in English. We will definitely use Alex's services again .
