Watertight Texts
A researcher, writer, editor, and writing coach, I enjoy working with academics in the social sciences and humanities. I have a decade of experience. I specialize in developmental and line editing, though the services I offer can support writers at every stage of a project, starting with talking through and hierarchizing ideas. I aim to bring lightness to the labor of revising writing, including some of the most disrelished tasks, for example, reconciling readers’ reports or overhauling an older chapter in light of a newer, more developed article version of that chapter. Clients have frequently thanked me for the concreteness of my feedback, for the acuity of my feedback, for my responsiveness to how they work and think, and for my investment in their projects.
