About us

Mauricio Machado is a one-person practice whose work is independent online editing of written English: proofreading, plain-language editing, style sheets and read-through sessions, done by one person and returned with the reasons written beside every change. This site exists to say plainly what we do, how to get hold of us, and who stands behind it, so you can check those things before you write to us.

What we do

Mauricio Machado works in independent online editing of written English: proofreading, plain-language editing, style sheets and read-through sessions, done by one person and returned with the reasons written beside every change. Every enquiry from this site lands with a person, who replies with what is possible, the timescale and a price. This website takes no payment of any kind.

How it works

• You tell us what you need and how to reach you.
• We reply with availability, timescale and a clear quote.
• Anything binding is agreed in writing, directly with us — never through a form on this page.

What you will not find here

• No ratings, customer numbers or sales figures that we could not back up.
• Illustrations are drawn to show the kind of work we do; they are not passed off as photographs of it.
• No card or bank details are requested here or by email.

Where the name comes from

The name Mauricio Machado is taken from the editor who does this work alone and in whose name mauriciomachadousa.online is registered. The pages are written in English so they can be read by the people who send texts for editing. There is no earlier website behind it: everything here was written for this domain.
