Ink Wash Edits
Academic editor (humanities and social sciences)
China specialist
Services: Copyediting, developmental editing, and some formatting. I have edited articles, dissertations, book manuscripts, book proposals, book chapters, book reviews, abstracts, grant applications, research proposals, web-published news articles, and academic portfolio materials, including CVs and research, teaching, and diversity statements. I can assist with translations from Chinese and localization for American culture. I also have agency experience editing application materials for colleges and graduate programs, including word count reductions. I especially welcome texts from non-native English speakers.
Experience: I’ve worked in academic editing both independently and with an agency affiliated with Springer Nature that focused on copyediting and developmental services for non-native English speakers. My editing experience covers most of the humanities and a large part of the social sciences, as well as generalist writing in business, law, and education. I have experience formatting with AP style, CMOS (Turabian), MLA, APA, and house styles. I hold a copyediting certificate from UC San Diego. I can work with LaTeX.
Subject areas: Extensive familiarity with topics related to modern China. I can proofread and revise translations from Chinese to English in both modern and classical (文言文). I edit translations with an emphasis on accessibility as part of localization and with respect for loyalty to the source text. My doctorate is in traditional Chinese theater, from the department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. My own work was interdisciplinary and I specialize in helping authors whose work must speak to wide audiences, across fields of study and across levels of expertise.
Disciplines: These fields represent the closest match for my experience in editing and publishing (and, once upon a time, teaching): literature and literary theory, gender studies, history, film studies, and the performing arts. I’ve also edited extensively in the social sciences, focusing on economics (including behavioral economics, game theory, agricultural economics, environmental economics, markets, ESG, and econometrics), public policy, political science, linguistics, translation, and anthropology. I understand standards for paper organization in the social sciences and have a working knowledge of statistical techniques for both categorical and continuous variables, panel data, time series data, linear regression models, multivariate and multivariable regressions, PSM-DID, endogeneity testing, cluster analysis and network analysis.
I also have a bachelor’s in music history and theory, and years of experience studying and working with members of the performing arts, including dance and theatre. I can read Western staff notation, cipher notation and gongche notation (incl. dianban), and I have some familiarity with notation for qinpu.
Projects of all sizes are welcome! I am open to negotiation on schedules and pricing.
