Non-fiction copyediting and proofreading in Japan and worldwide
Profile
I was born and raised in the UK. I studied mathematics at York University then taught mathematics for six years—three in the UK and three in Namibia. In 2003, I moved to Japan, first teaching English, then working at a publishing company as an academic proofreader. I speak Japanese and have worked with many clients in Japan. I established Alexander Proofreading in 2019.
I am a Professional Member of CIEP, the UK’s leading body for editing and proofreading, and abide by their Professional Practice Code.
My work mainly includes popular non-fiction, academic papers, and business reports.
Copyediting and proofreading are the ideal work for me, combining three things I love: refining writing, helping people communicate, and using English.
