Dr Timothy Jowan Curnow
Before training as a copy-editor and proofreader, Tim had twenty years of experience as a teaching and research academic at a number of Australian universities. He is the author or co-author of about 40 journal articles and chapters, as well as 7 reports for governments and similar bodies. During his university career, he also supervised 15 post-graduate students to completion. So all in all, he’s got a fair idea of what it takes to get something published or to get you through the higher degree process.

Tim’s initial academic life was in more traditional descriptive and historical linguistics (with a sideline in mathematics and statistics), but his later publications were more generally in applied linguistics. In his university teaching, he was responsible for post-graduate student work across a broad range of areas, including linguistics and applied linguistics, language studies, communication, sociology, journalism, creative writing, public relations, and politics and international studies. If there’s a referencing or formatting style that he hasn’t dealt with, he doesn’t know what it is!

Tim is a native speaker of Australian English, but is very familiar with the differences between it and both UK and US English. He also speaks Spanish, has a reasonable working knowledge of French, Italian and German, and a very basic level of a number of other languages, including Arabic.
Tim is also a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (previously known as the Society for Editors and Proofreaders).
