I'm an American novelist, proofreader, and storytelling expert who helps Czech writers express their words eloquently and tell their stories powerfully. I have a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing (University of Montana, 2009) and a Bachelor’s Degree in English (University of Texas, 2006). I’ve also published 3 books (most recently with New York City publisher Black Lawrence Press) and am represented by Transatlantic Literary Agency.

For the last 16 years, I’ve worked as a freelance editor for international publishers like Penguin Random House, and for the last 8 years I've worked for Czech publishers like Albatros and Karolinum. Other local clients include Prague Castle, the Czech Senate, and various academics and journals at Charles University, Czech Technical University, Czech Academy of Sciences, Masaryk University, and University of South Bohemia.

I’m available to proofread anything written in English. After I revise your text, it will sound clear and natural, as if written by a native speaker.

Scott Alexander Jones is a good proof-reader. He has corrected some of my English articles on literature and literary history. As a native speaker he always sends me polished texts in time. He always improves the language of the text. He works fast and he is very flexible to work with. dr. Alenka Jensterle Doležal, Faculty of Arts, Charles University

Top-notch editing

Reviewed by Mike Baugh 29.06.2020
Scott is my go-to editor when Karolinum / Charles University Press needs an English editor of the highest caliber. Whether it's a book on theater, economics, or philosophy, Scott provides excellent insights during the editing process and delivers us polished texts that I'm confident to send off to our printers. Lots of native speakers here pass themselves off as editors and proofreaders, but Scott is the real deal. He's a consummate... read more

Great experience proofreading a book!

Reviewed by Jakub Stepan 22.06.2020
Scott is very fast and efficient. He leaves very insightful comments that go beyond agreed scope of work. I have already had my book proofread by two USA editors, but only after Scott's take the book is ready for publishing. Overall, I whole-heartily recommend Scott and would use his services in the future.

Excellent editor and proofreader!

We made our acquaintance only recently, but Scott already helped me a lot with my writing. First, he proofread a preface to my book on very short notice. Scott not only finished this task on time, but he also provided me with a very helpful feedback. He improved the language of the text looking not only at the sentence structure and word choices, but also for spelling mistakes and typos. Scott was also interested in the content of the text, as... read more

Highly Recommended!

I have worked with Scott several times. Mostly the documents, he edited for me, were academic papers with my bachelor's thesis included. The work was always done with high quality and in a timely manner. I'm sure those who work with official documents will especially appreciate the cooperation with Scott because he works fast, is very flexible to work with and is a great expert in the area. I like that he is very attentive to details and... read more
