Editing Services

Are you working on a book, thesis, dissertation, report, presentation, chapter or article? Editing can make all the difference to your final product. When you work on a text for any length of time it becomes difficult to spot errors. I can help make your text flow and your ideas shine through.

University and college faculty, independent scholars and non-fiction writers: I’ll help you polish your book manuscript, book chapter or article before you submit it to a publisher. I’ll make sure that style is consistent throughout your edited collection. I can help with the tasks you find most tedious of all, such as checking citation format and checking notes or in-text citations against your bibliography or reference list.

Graduate students: I’ll help you polish your dissertation, thesis or project by helping you to correct grammar, punctuation, spelling and other mechanics of style, and by identifying inconsistencies and problems with structure and clarity. I have expertise in all academic referencing styles. I can also format your document to your university’s thesis template. I’ll help you craft a clearer, stronger, error-free thesis or dissertation.

Your university may have a policy regarding the hiring of a professional editor to proofread your thesis or dissertation, and that policy may set limits on the nature and extent of the editing permitted. The policy may also include the requirement that your academic supervisor must grant permission for professional proofreading. See the resources on the Resources page for information about such policies.   

Organizations: When the work you do relies on clear communication, getting the wording and the tone right is especially important. I’ll help you produce clearly written and well structured reports, briefings, proceedings, literature reviews, and annotated bibliographies.
