    Hi! I'm Bushra (PhD, ELS)

    I’m a copyeditor who spent a decade working for the biggest publishing houses before I set up my freelance copyediting business.

    In the last 8 years, I’ve brought together a team of qualified, experienced, and professional editors to help people like you at editorial agencies, journals, and hospitals around the world.

    Is My Team Right For You?

    “Excellent resource both as an individual contributor, as well as an effective manager”

    “I have been professionally associated with Ms Bushra Rashid since 2007, for over more than seven years. She is a dedicated professional in the editing of material from global publishers, especially in the STM domain. Her experience spanning more than a decade has made her an excellent resource both as an individual contributor, as well as an effective manager who can supervise others from the editing field.”

    Benefits you enjoy when we work together

    Experienced copyeditors

    All my editors have earlier worked with top publishers and come with experience of 10 years or more in the industry

    STM expertise

    Each copyeditor has PhD or Masters-level expertise in STM and clears a strict test before joining the team

    Double review

    Your manuscript is read by two copyeditors—the main editor who corrects it twice before another expert reviews it for sneaky errors

    Same rate for all work

    When the two of us decide on a rate, it applies to simple, medium, and complex manuscripts, and no time is wasted on renegotiation

    100% timely delivery

    We may forgo projects with impossible deadlines, but once we commit to a date, we always deliver (or lose 20% of our fee)

    Quality guarantee

    We are obsessed with quality and work hard to maintain a high standard. If we ever fall short, we promise FREE revisions till you’re 100% satisfied

    “She has always been easy to work with and is always there to help us in emergencies”

    “We highly recommend Bushra who has been working with us for more than 5 years as an academic editor. Dr Bushra has quick turnarounds. She is very hardworking and dedicated to her deadline. Also, she always completes projects in a very short period of time. Her editing style is comprehensive. She not only works on grammatical issues but also improves the language and structure of the manuscript she is working on. She has always been easy to work with and is always there to help us in emergencies.”
