Human editorial revision for AI-generated manuscripts, translations & timelines.
Many authors now arrive with machine-translated manuscripts — often promising in places, yet uneven in voice, rhythm, and clarity.
This is where careful human editorial judgement still matters.
I offer selective editorial revision of AI-translated fiction and non-fiction for authors who want their text to read naturally, consistently, and with an intact narrative voice.
This is not about correcting isolated errors. It is about restoring flow, tone, and coherence — and knowing when to intervene, and when not to.
Close editorial revision of a completed machine-translated manuscript
Attention to voice, consistency, idiomatic English, and readability
Judgement-led editing rather than mechanical correction
It is not proofreading
It is not a one-click clean-up
It is not suitable for raw or incomplete machine output
Because machine-translated manuscripts vary so widely, this work is priced by scope rather than by word count alone.
Some manuscripts require light structural adjustment; others need careful, line-by-line attention to restore clarity and voice.
For this reason, all projects are assessed individually before a fee is agreed.
Editorial revision is charged at an hourly rate, starting from £45 per hour, depending on the condition of the manuscript and the level of intervention required.
A short sample (up to 1,500 words) is requested before any quotation is given.
This allows me to see how the manuscript reads — and whether my editorial approach is the right fit for your project.
I work selectively and by choice.
Each manuscript is assessed individually to ensure that the expectations on both sides are clear from the outset.
If this approach feels right for your project, you are welcome to get in touch and tell me a little about your manuscript.
