Alice Waugh

Alice Waugh – Editor

Writer and editor with wide-ranging background in science and engineering, higher ed, business and journalism.

Overview

I can do everything you need to get a book into print — developmental and copy editing, design/text formatting, inserting and adjusting images, writing blog posts and press releases upon publication, etc. In addition to books, I've worked on academic papers, books, profiles, news articles, business documents, newsletters — you name it.

As a copy editor, I'm conversant with business, scientific, and medical terminology, and I’ve immersed myself in APA, MLA, Associated Press, and Chicago styles. I take pride in making sure published material looks professional and is clear and correct down to the last punctuation mark.
