Book an Appointment

I do developmental editing, copy editing, proof reading, fact checking, indexing, and manuscript preparation for both academic and trade publications. I provide everything from long-term developmental support to quick turnaround editing for my clients. The services below are my standard offerings, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need something different than what you see listed. I am happy to set up bespoke plans with clients and my many years of teaching and writing experience mean I am prepared to respond to a large variety of client needs.

Manuscript Preparation includes complete copy editing and proofreading of your manuscript. I will hunt down those citations so you don’t have to, set up your table of context, or tidy up your index. For academic manuscripts, I charge $3 a page for this service. For non-academic manuscripts, I charge $1.50 a page.

Developmental Editing involves me reading and making major suggestions on your work at an earlier stage of the process. If you are struggling to envision the flow of your argument, to make the stakes of your investigation clear, or to engage your audience, this kind of support is right for you. For this work I charge $3 a page.

I also offer indexing at a rate of $5 a page.
