Editing and Proofreading Services


Makes all the difference.

Have a report, dissertation, article, slide deck, book, or something else that could use another pair of eyes? I can help with any or all of the following:

  • Proofreading (hard copy or electronic)
  • Light copyediting (grammar, punctuation, consistency, etc.)
  • Heavy copyediting (organization, flow, word choice, repetition, clarity, concision)
  • Formatting (documents, tables, references)


My editing philosophy is to leave the writer's voice untouched, rather than to impose my own. My editing joy is learning new things--I have worked on projects on a variety of topics, from medical research to socio-linguistics to business proposals to literary criticism. I prefer longer projects, and tailor my involvement and feedback to the needs of the client. I have worked with Chicago, APA, and MLA style guides, as well as house styles. And I never suggest a change for which I cannot provide a solid reason if asked.


If you'd like to discuss a project, please contact me (on the Contact tab). Reasonable hourly rates, with discounts for graduate students and academics.
