Writing Is Thinking

I'm an academic and nonfiction editor with a PhD in Philosophy. I offer line-by-line and developmental editing for writers and scholars who want their work to be engaging and accessible to non-specialist readers. My intensive sentence-level edits prepare your work for publication, conferences, presentations and even your website. I specialize in making sure your work says exactly what you want it to say (and helping you discover, through the editorial process, just what it is you want to say to your reader). Editing packages include short introductory packages for flat rates, with a focus on developing your main ideas through clear writing and ensuring your reader can follow every step of your thinking. I also specialize in polishing high-stakes materials to perfection, including cover letter, abstracts, research and teaching statements, and website copy. I can help you translate your expertise for non-specialist audiences, including colleagues, journal editors, students, or the general public.
