So here goes:. I have never watched an episode of Big Brother or any episode of any soap opera. I don't watch news on the television and I don't read newspapers, so all of my current affairs-related information comes from Radio 4.

I only have the TV at all for films, box sets and televised sport athletics; gymnastics; figure skating; rugby; snooker if I am ironing; and, in the days when I could still drink, darts, so that I could really enjoy shouting at the TV.

I have a stress-related bowel disorder , caused by working in higher education for ten years. They are so much worse than spiders.

I frequently have customers tell me that they have been spelling a word incorrectly for years, and that I am the first person to point it out.

I will proof this just as I would any other piece of work, and then provide a tailored report, listing the areas in which I think your English is compromising your marks, offering you help with all the areas listed below, and with the emphasis firmly on future work.

Regular customers may be offered a lower hourly rate. I usually ask customers to send me a sample of their work, in order to provide them with both a tailored, more accurate estimate, as well as an idea of what their work might look like once I have finished proofreading it.

Not only is she thorough, she kept me updated throughout the process which was remarkably quick , and sent on a detailed report full of helpful tips in addition to the highlighted in-text adjustments.

I could not thank you more. Ke Shi, PhD studied performativity at the University of Bristol. I feel really proud of it now reading though.
