Elizabeth Agresta – Editor

I have edited books for UMass Press and AMC Press and work as an independent contractor for Sheridan Journal Services as a copy editor for the FASEB Journal. Before I started on that account, I was assigned to the American Society for Nutrition account and edited articles for the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the Journal of Nutrition. I have also assisted individual clients by editing dissertations and theses.

Along with administrative tasks, I convey information regarding schedules and the production process to 10+ authors each season, edit marketing copy for the MIT Press's seasonal catalogs as well as jacket copy and endorsements, edit and proofread indexes, supervise freelance editors and occasionally proofreaders, and edit my own books when the schedule allows for it. I've listed some MITP books that I edited (Thompson, Fire, Ice , and Physics; Siyahhan and Gee, Families at Play) as well as several others that required additional review and proofreading after someone else had copy edited the manuscript.
