It's important to make an excellent first impression with your written work. Please let me help you do this with tips and information about all types of non-fiction writing. I’ll also give you plenty of advice about proofing your own work when you’ve finished the composition process.


I’ll share my knowledge with you in this website.

However, if you don't need any help - congratulations! But you are still welcome to have a look around the site if you'd like.

The site is split into three parts:

• All about proofreading - This section is all about helping you gain the skills to proof your own documents.


• Writing guides - This includes many sections each focusing on one of the main different areas of non-fiction writing.


• My proofreading service - This is where all the information about my correction service is located. I can read and proof your writing so that it’s top notch.

Let me introduce myself before further explaining this website. I’m Jolyon Dodgson PhD. I come from the UK. My PhD was in plant pathology and I’m a trained ESL teacher. For more information about me see my page About Me.

I’ve worked in universities as a researcher and lecturer both in the UK and Thailand. I’ve experience of reading and correcting academic writing from native and non-native English speakers including;

• Essays
• Experimental reports
• Thesis and Dissertations
• I’ve proofread and provided comments about many scientific papers.

I’ve experience of producing text for websites (your reading some of it now) and can give advice about how website writing and web content should be different from formal non-fiction writing.

I’ve taught ESL both privately and in a university for several years, specializing in ESL writing.

You already understand the importance of well written and professionally presented work, or you wouldn't have searched for this information. In this site I’ll:

• Provide help with the writing and proofreading process
• Provide articles about proofreading techniques, tips and checklists to help with finalizing your document
• Give information about English grammar used when writing
• Offer advice about the most common styles used in writing
• Give writing help for non-fiction writers
