A linguist with keen eyes on following, reflecting and making sure that the author’s style and vocabulary are respected: Where the author’s writing is choppy, harsh, opaque, lyrical, flowing, or unambiguous, my writing should be too. In short, ensures keeping the author's intended effects. However, when it happens that an author’s writing comes across as awkward a result of poor or non-existent editing, rather than a deliberate style, this is where the role of a perfectionist comes to play.
