Editorial services for academics, authors, creatives, and educational & cultural organizations.
Careful editing for thoughtful writing.
Whatever story you want to tell, idea you want to share, or message you want to deliver, working with an editor will elevate the clarity, structure, and impact of your writing. That could mean refining a research paper for peer review, preparing a grant proposal, or shaping your manuscript for publication.
I offer editorial support to writers working across disciplines and genres. From scholars preparing grant proposals and peer-reviewed articles, to fiction authors crafting emotionally complex, voice-driven manuscripts, I bring a careful eye, collaborative approach, and respect for your voice.
