Academic Editing, Any Discipline
Clarity. Accuracy. Standards.
Since 2008, I have edited academic work across disciplines and degree
levels, with a focus on clear ideas, appropriate academic tone, and
strict adherence to institutional and journal standards.
Who I Work With
Master’s and PhD Students
I work with graduate students on dissertations, capstone projects, literature reviews, annotated bibliographies, and research-based coursework that must meet institutional and committee expectations.
Professional Researchers
I work with researchers preparing journal articles, research proposals, and grant submissions that must meet publisher, reviewer, and funder standards.
What I Focus On
I focus on whether academic writing communicates ideas clearly, completely, and in the appropriate scholarly tone. I assess whether arguments hold, whether explanations provide the required detail, and whether readers can follow the logic without confusion or ambiguity.
I do not serve as a subject-matter expert. My clients bring that expertise. I serve as a critical reader who can identify gaps in reasoning, unclear claims, missing context, and breakdowns in explanation.
How I Work
I read academic work with attention to logic, structure, and completeness. I identify where explanations assume too much, where claims need support, and where transitions fail to guide the reader.
I edit with the expectations of evaluators, reviewers, and committees in mind, shaping the writing so ideas come through clearly to readers who assess work for rigor and coherence.
Style Guides and Standards
I ensure consistent adherence to the required style guide for each project. This includes formatting, citations, references, headings, and stylistic conventions.
I work most often with APA, and I also follow institutional style guides, journal submission requirements, and custom or hybrid standards provided by programs, publishers, or review boards.

Who You’ll Be Working With
Since 2008, I have edited academic work across disciplines, degree levels, and publication contexts. I bring judgment shaped by long experience reading work that must withstand formal evaluation.
Before founding my editing practice, I served as an English-language editor at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, where I edited a wide range of technical, academic, and policy documents for international audiences.
When you work with me, you work directly with the person responsible for the edit.

Institutional Accounts
I also work with universities, research groups, and organizations that require ongoing academic editing across multiple projects and contributors.
Institutional accounts provide consistent editing, predictable turnaround, and alignment with internal standards and workflows.
