David Edgar

David Edgar – Editor

I am energetic and patient copyeditor and proofreader who specialises in non-fiction, particularly social sciences and the arts.

Overview

I am an (enthusiastic, generous, experienced) copyeditor and proofreader. I work mainly with non-fiction authors. I work on books, academic theses, and articles. I´m really passionate about my job. I love collaborating with people to help them share their ideas with the world. Often my clients are coming towards the end of a long and somewhat difficult journey—perhaps that's you right now. I share not only my expertise but my energy to help you get across the finishing line. Clients find that I go that extra mile, and that I make them smile. As an editor, I have worked on a wide range of project types relating to an array of topics. They include: books about horror cinema, theatre, and urban planning; journals on documentary film, and middle eastern studies; PhD theses on archaeology, and philosophy. Outside of editing, my academic and professional experience is in literature, the social sciences, and cinema.
