ESL Editing in Milwaukee

Milwaukee is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the Midwest. Large communities of Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Arabic, Tibetan, and Burmese speakers live across the city, and UWM and Marquette together enroll substantial international graduate student and research populations. Many of these residents produce academic and professional writing in English as a second or third language, and the structural differences between their first languages and English produce predictable patterns that experienced editors know how to address.

Spanish writers frequently carry over subjunctive constructions that don't map cleanly to English. Hmong writers often produce subject-omission patterns and verb constructions rooted in Hmong's isolating grammar. Somali writers carry over aspectual tense structures that affect English clarity. Arabic writers frequently produce verb-initial constructions and definiteness patterns that differ from English conventions. These aren't signs of weak writing ability. They're predictable structural consequences of the first language, and an experienced editor addresses them while preserving the writer's voice. See Editor World's English editing service for non-native speakers.

• ESL academic editing: Journal articles, theses, and dissertations edited with understanding of the grammar patterns that arise from each language background.
• ESL business editing: Proposals, reports, and correspondence edited to meet the expectations of English-speaking clients and partners.
• University application editing: Personal statements, statements of purpose, and scholarship essays polished for applicants whose first language isn't English.
