Editing Services for Academic Writers and Other Non-Fiction Authors

Are you ready to take your non-fiction writing to the next level—whether it’s a book, article, grant proposal, or professional application? My editing services help make your work clearer, stronger, and more compelling.

I work with non-fiction authors, academics, and other creative professionals on a range of projects:

• Books, book proposals, and chapters
• Journal articles or essays
• Grant proposals and funding applications
• Academic job market materials and professional applications

What I do:

• Identify areas for improvement and give concrete revision suggestions
• Clarify your argument, narrative, or key message
• Align evidence, examples, or research with your main claims
• Enhance style, structure, and overall readability
• Highlight strengths and contributions in professional documents

Developmental editing vs. copyediting:
Developmental editing focuses on big-picture clarity, argument, and structure rather than grammar and punctuation. I help you refine your ideas, organize your material, and make sure your work resonates with your audience.

Next steps:
