Editing for Scholars

For two decades, I’ve been a structural/substantive, developmental, style and line editor with a writer’s skills and sensibility. If you are a scholar at any career stage, I can help you cultivate concepts, make your ideas vivid, build persuasive arguments, integrate them into compelling narratives, and achieve smooth, consistent voice. My method combines positive critique and dialogic engagement leavened by practical attention to everything from deadlines to the finer points of required style, grammar and usage.
