Services

I copyedit nonfiction documents including academic books, journal articles, textbooks, manuals, conference proceedings, and dissertations. I also provide English language editing for academics, and fact checking for educational materials.

All of my writing and editing is human powered. That means that anything I write or edit is done without the use of AI. Likewise, I do not edit AI-generated content.

Also note that I follow Editors Canada’s Guidelines for Ethical Editing of Graduate Student Texts.

Copyediting

• improve the flow and clarity of a text at the sentence and paragraph level

• ensure that the author’s voice is maintained while improving style

• check spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation, and references

• ensure that the document conforms to a particular style sheet

Proofreading

• make a last pass on an edited document to ensure that it is free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes

• check formatting elements including headers, figure legends, lists, tables, numbering, and cross-referencing

Dissertation editing

• line editing to ensure clarity, flow, and overall consistency

• copyediting for correct grammar, syntax, usage, and punctuation as well as consistency of elements between sections

• ensuring correct formatting, including headings, tables, figures, legends, and tables of contents

• ensuring that the dissertation conforms to the required style guide and/or university guidelines

• copyediting of references and cross-checking the reference list against in-text citations

Rates

Every project is different. I can provide a sample edit and project estimate based on a sample of the work.

In addition to being a federal contractor, I am registered with the Nevada System of Higher Education. I accept payment via ACH or Zelle.
