Editing Experience
With more than a decade of copy editing and proofreading experience, I have edited college- and graduate-level humanities and science textbooks, technical reports, academic papers, marketing materials, and more. I'm an expert in AP, Chicago, and APA Style and can ensure your finished product is clean, concise, and error free.
Types of Editing
|
Copy Editing
Revising text for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, word choice, sentence structure, flow, and other moderate edits. Copy editing is recommended for materials that are in the draft stage or need moderate revisions. |
Proofreading
Simply checking text for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other minor errors. Proofreading is recommended for materials that are nearly complete and/or need light editing or minimal revisions. |
Editing Services
Academic & Scientific Editing
Dissertation/Thesis Formatting
If you are in a time crunch to complete your dissertation or thesis, I can save you time and stress by formatting your dissertation according to your university's guidelines. This service is affordable to accommodate graduate students and does not include editing or proofreading the entire dissertation.
Paper Revisions
I can help you polish up your paper before you submit it to that prestigious journal you've been aiming for. This service includes copy editing and/or proofreading.
Academic Book Editing
Many academic publishers have in-house editors, so why hire an independent editor? I can take the time to understand your subject matter and ensure special terms or areas of research are conveyed as you intend them in your book. I can also help you make your book into the best version of itself before publishing. This service includes copy editing and/or proofreading.
Textbook Editing
With experience editing college- and graduate-level humanities and scientific textbooks by both single and multiple authors, I copy edit textbooks to maintain consistency across chapters, format references, and edit figures and graphs. This service includes copy editing and/or proofreading.
