Jill Cucchi – Editor

Editor with 11+ years' experience helping non-fiction authors and academics turn complex concepts into clear, compelling books.

Overview

Hi

I'm a CIEP-trained copyeditor with over a decade of experience elevating non-fiction and academic writing.

I partner with global authors and top institutions (like CNRS, Sciences Po, and the University of Michigan) across life sciences, history, art, architecture and education.

As a former field archaeologist for Durham University, museum educator, and civil servant, I bring a broad range of expertise to every edit — making policy or cultural history equally accessible.

I look forward to discussing your project.

Work experience

Self-employed

Mar, 2015 — Present
For over ten years, I’ve been helping academics and non-fiction authors transform complex ideas into clear, publication-ready prose. As a CIEP- and MET-member copyeditor and translator, I specialise in polishing journal articles, academic books, and public-facing content. I regularly collaborate with scholars from leading institutions (including CNRS, Sorbonne, INRAP, MNHN) and serve as a registered copyeditor for publishers like Cambridge University Press and Academic Language Experts. My work spans the natural sciences, history, art, and education — I’ve even translated children's history books! Whether you need a final line edit or translation support, I’m here to make your writing clear, compelling, and ready to publish.
