Dr David Winter — Cambridge University-educated writer, editor, researcher and translator
I am a Cambridge‑trained PhD linguist and professional editor specialising in producing publication‑ready English of the highest standard. For more than twenty years, I’ve helped universities, businesses, translation agencies and cultural institutions sharpen their message through clear, precise and persuasive writing.
My work spans books, academic articles, reports, marketing copy and digital content. Every document I edit is crafted for accuracy, clarity and stylistic consistency. A background in Latin and ancient Greek — including teaching at the University of Cambridge — gives me a rigorous command of grammar and syntax that informs every assignment.
I have a particular penchant for academic texts, including psychology and psychoanalysis, as well as health and hospitals — as you can see from the snippet below.
