Karen Ludke – Editor

Professional editor and researcher with academic (Routledge) and nonfiction book publishing experience (Wiley).

Overview

I am a detail-oriented professional editor with over 10 years of freelance editing and proofreading experience. I previously worked at John Wiley & Sons in New York, where my role focused on nonfiction book publishing.

I also have experience as an academic researcher, writer, and editor, with a focus on applied linguistics and language learning through the arts (especially music, songs and singing) - so I can deliver what it takes to get your academic and nonfiction work published.

My main specialisms are education, humanities (including French), and social sciences, including finance and accounting, but I am happy to work on projects in varied disciplines.
