Overview
I can offer expert guidance on works of literary criticism, 20th century history and politics, and language learning, but have years of experience working on projects across the social sciences. My recent portfolio includes Dr Joe Whelan's insightful monograph 'Welfare, Deservingness, and the Logic of Poverty: Who Deserves?' and Professor Maria Luisa Ardizzone's meticulous study 'The Young Dante: Archetypes of His Early Intellectual Biography.' While working through your manuscript, I'll not only eliminate all grammatical and syntactical errors, but will also ensure consistency of style, tone, and formatting. As a copyeditor I'm also conscious of when to show restraint; I promise to maintain the integrity and uniqueness of your own authorial voice throughout the editorial process. The final result is a print-ready text of sophisticated, eloquent, and precise prose. I'm also currently ghostwriting a book in the medical humanities. If you have an idea for a work of non-fiction and would like assistance with the research, writing, and publication of the text then I'd love to hear from you!TESTIMONIALS"We have had the pleasure of working with James for a number of projects and his attitude, work ethic, and standard of editing have been above reproach. Our authors report him as being friendly, punctual, and always willing to go the extra mile. We look forward to many more years of successful partnership." (Rebecca Gladders, Cambridge Scholars Publishing)"James' work was excellent. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone looking for a copyeditor and I will undoubtedly be back to myself at some point." (Dr Joe Whelan, Trinity College Dublin)
