Overview
Hello! I offer copy-editing and English language editing services to academic publishers and authors and have worked with a number of university presses, including Cambridge, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.I also copy-edit the academic journals 'Die Welt des Islams', 'Arab Law Quarterly', and 'Sudosteuropa', as well as the Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Studies Online and the Encyclopaedia of Islam. As you can see, I specialize in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies but copy-edit across a range of fields within the social sciences and humanities.I respect the hard work that academic authors put into their manuscripts and enjoy working with them to sensitively but pragmatically communicate their research as effectively and engagingly as possible. I always aim to ensure that your writing is as clear, concise, consistent and accurate as possible.I'm a Professional Member of a UK-based professional membership organization for editors and proofreaders, and abide by their code of practice. I'm also a Fellow (Full Member) of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES).
