Leander Kalil – Editor

Clarity is my primary concern as an editor. This entails purity of voice, lexical and grammatical elegance, and momentum of argument. I want your text to be as enjoyable to read and as true to your intentions as possible. As your editor, I will be candid, often elucidating the rationale of my suggestions.

My studies in Philosophy (BA) and Architecture (M.Arch.) and my professional work in architectural practice and discourse have allowed me to develop a sensitivity to the craft of language.

I began editing professionally while in architecture school, for my then-professor who publishes books on architecture. Since, then my freelance base has grown and I have enjoyed an editorial and research role at the museum/publisher/film producer in Montreal called the Canadian Centre for Architecture, where I have worked on essays, articles, interviews, institutional and curatorial texts, exhibitions, films, lectures, public communications, and, of course, books!

I offer services as a developmental editor, copy editor, and proofreader.
