Everett Mason

Everett Mason – Editor

Experienced, thoughtful line editor, proofreader, and translator specialized in art theory, philosophy, and history. Let's get started!

Overview

It's through words that we experience the world, telling ourselves stories and naming the forms and sensations that come our way. As writers we're turning that activity back towards the world, spinning tales and creating structures of thought for everyone and anyone to encounter. I've been helping writers and scholars do this for over 15 years, in the form of proofreading, editing, and translating works of poetry, fiction, scholarly research, and film subtitles.

I'm a voracious reader across many genres, and my ecumenical tastes are reflected in the projects I like to be a part of. I find joy in my work and, perhaps as a result, have a reputation for fast turn-around times and elegant solutions to knotty issues. There's no one right way to write, but with me you can't go wrong.
