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.”
