Services

I copyedit nonfiction documents including academic books, journal articles, textbooks, manuals, conference proceedings, and dissertations. I also provide English language editing of journal articles and fact checking of educational materials.

All of my writing and editing is human powered. That means that anything I write or edit is done without the use of AI. Likewise, I do not edit AI-generated content.

Also note that I follow Editors Canada’s Guidelines for Ethical Editing of Graduate Student Texts.

Copyediting

• improving the flow and clarity of a text at the sentence and paragraph level

• checking formatting of headings, lists, tables, and figures

• ensuring that the document conforms to a particular style sheet

• reference list cross-checking and copyediting

Proofreading

• making a last pass on an edited document to ensure that it is free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes

• checking formatting elements including headers, figure legends, lists, tables, numbering, and cross-referencing

Dissertation editing

• line editing to ensure clarity, flow, and overall consistency

• copyediting for correct grammar, syntax, usage, and punctuation as well as consistency of elements between sections

• ensuring correct formatting, including headings, tables, figures, legends, and tables of contents
