About Richard Willems:

I am a graduate of Simon Fraser University’s Editing Certificate Program and have nearly 30 years’ editing experience in Taiwan and Canada, focusing on copyediting for non-native-English-speaking academics in various disciplines, including chemistry, biology, physics, medicine, education, and psychology. I am also a member of Editors Canada. I am familiar with structural editing, stylistic editing, copyediting, and proofreading, and I am proficient in using MS Word’s Track Changes function. I have been editing since 1995, when I moved to Taiwan to teach English after getting my Bachelor of Education degree. One year ended up becoming nearly twenty, during which I founded a successful language school for children and developed a number of corporate English learning programs. I began editing research papers for university professors during this time, and over the years I worked with many talented writers. I returned to Canada in 2014 and began teaching in the public school system, and at the same time began offering my editing services. I never stop learning, and in 2023 I completed the Editing Certificate Program at Simon Fraser University. My years of teaching and editing experience, as well as my international perspective, have allowed me to develop the high-quality editing techniques that my clients expect. I am based in Abbotsford BC and live with my wife and two amazing daughters. I love taking on new clients, so drop me a line!

Experience

I received editing certification from Simon Fraser University and have nearly 30 years' experience as an academic copy editor and proofreader. I have experience editing papers from numerous scientific disciplines and am comfortable working with ESL writers.
