I specialize in serious non-fiction, particularly academic writing, and invite manuscripts in the fields of literature, cultural studies, sociology, political science, history, philosophy, and religion. I have a strong interest in projects related to social justice and human rights, together with a background in working with non-profit organizations. 
​
My aim is to harness the power of your writing by reading analytically as well as aesthetically. I offer a gamut of editing services, including Copy Editing, Stylistic Editing, Structural/Substantive Editing, and Rewriting. Indexing and Reference Checking services are also available. If you are not sure what type of editing you require, I can make recommendations based on a writing sample.

If you are interested in working with me, kindly send me the following information:

1. A two-page representative sample of your writing;
2. The type of editing you require;
3. The deadline for the completion of the editing work.

Within twenty-four hours, I will provide you with an editing sample as well as an estimated fee for your project. If you decide to proceed, I will send you an Editorial Agreement, or contract, for your review and signature. Graduate students seeking dissertation editing are encouraged to review the EAC's Guidelines for Ethical Editing of Theses/Dissertations.

Normally, I edit documents through Track Changes in Microsoft Word. This feature is incredibly user-friendly, even for the uninitiated. However, I am happy to consider alternative editing tools and applications.

Please note that my fees are competitive but vary depending on the type and level of editing required, with special rates available for students and non-profit organizations. Payment is by e-transfer or Paypal.
