Dr David Winter
Cambridge University-educated writer, editor, researcher and translator
I am a senior writer, editor and reviewer with more than twenty years of professional experience across the UK, France and North Africa.
My background as a Cambridge‑trained linguist, combined with a long career in publishing (writing, editing and researching), ensures that every project I take on is delivered with precision, clarity and impeccable English.
Exceptional English & Editorial Precision
Native‑level English refined through decades of writing, editing and translation work
Doctorate in languages from the University of Cambridge
Former university tutor in Latin and Ancient Greek, with an expert command of grammar, syntax and linguistic nuance
Versatile, High‑Level Writing Expertise
I write confidently on a vast range of subjects — from white papers to cultural history, from technology, to travel, from corporate communications to blogs.
I produce polished, engaging and structurally sound content for clients who expect excellence.
Reliability, Flexibility, Professionalism
Clients value my ability to deliver clean, publication‑ready copy on time, every time. I am equally comfortable working independently or collaborating with teams, linguists and remote contributors.
