What This Service Covers

I edit annotated bibliographies for clarity, consistency, and completeness. I assess whether each entry accurately represents the source, whether summaries and evaluations remain distinct, and whether entries follow a consistent structure.

I focus on how the annotated bibliography reads to faculty and evaluators who assess source selection, understanding of the literature, and academic judgment.

How I Work

I review annotated bibliographies with attention to accuracy, structure, and consistency across entries. I identify unclear summaries, unsupported evaluations, missing context, and shifts in tone or format that weaken the document.

I edit with academic evaluators in mind, shaping the writing so each entry communicates its purpose clearly and fits the expectations of the assignment or program.

Style Guides and Requirements

I follow the style guide and formatting requirements that apply to your annotated bibliography. This includes citation format, reference entries, headings, spacing, and consistency across annotations.

I work most often with APA and also follow institutional guidelines and assignment-specific requirements provided by programs or instructors.

  • APA
  • Chicago
  • MLA
  • Turabian
  • Institutional or program-specific guidelines

Who You’ll Be Working With

Since 2008, I have edited annotated bibliographies across disciplines and degree levels. I bring judgment shaped by long experience reviewing annotated bibliographies that must meet clear academic criteria.

Before founding my editing practice, I served as an English-language editor at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, editing academic and technical documents for international audiences.
