ABOUT ME

Background of Stephen York

​

I have been a professional freelance proofreader for over 30 years and before that had managerial experience in banking, building society administration, and property and financial management.

I have worked for a wide variety of clients on more than 2500 documents and publications in various subjects. Main proofreading subject areas are as follows, but others would be considered:

​

• accounting and finance

• astronomy and space exploration

• banking and investment

• business and management

• corporate real estate

• economics

• education

• history

• philosophy

• property management

• social and cultural studies.

​

Proofreading of mathematics, scientific and technical subjects are excluded.

Interests

I have been interested in astronomy and space exploration for many years and have in the past been a visual observer of earth satellites for the Satellite Orbits Group based at the Radio and Space Research Station at Slough. Now I am content to take sky-observing activities a bit easier with planets, stars and galaxies as best I can through suburban air and light pollution.

I am also a keen gardener, working in my back garden to cultivate a variety of shrubs, trees and salad crops.

​

My musical interests range from classical, through cheesy pop of yesteryear to vintage progressive rock.
