Matt Evans – Editor

I am an experienced and professional copy editor of academic books in the humanities (history, philosophy, literary criticism) and social sciences (psychology, sociology, political science). With 15 years of experience as a copy editor, I have worked on over 400 books, and I will bring this experience to working on your book, article, or dissertation. I have a BA in English and a BA, MA, and PhD in psychology. I am an expert in Chicago and APA styles.

I will read your entire manuscript, including the references, and correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formatting; lightly improve the wording where needed; resolve inconsistencies; and spot-check facts. I will return two sets of files to you, one with changes tracked and one clean with the changes accepted. I will also provide a style sheet noting editorial decisions about spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and so forth. Where needed I will insert queries in your manuscript concerning problems that need to be resolved.

My rate is $0.019/word. Turnaround time is 40 pages per day.
