Liz Wheeler

Liz Wheeler – Editor

Copy Editor and Proofreader with a background in philosophy, art, and critical theory. Well versed in computer and technology editing.

Overview

I copy edit and proofread technical writing about science, computers, and technology, as well as academic writing in philosophy and other humanities fields.

I also have experience as an arts administrator and teacher, and this informs my editing: I focus on discerning and encouraging each writer's unique voice. I am skilled at making sure that your intended meaning and style come across in text that is grammatically correct, coherent, and consistent. I have a strong ability to work with the writing of English language learners (I also enjoy it!).

If I copy edit or proofread for you, you can expect a high standard of care with your work, prompt and clear communication, excellence in meeting deadlines, and an open mind. I look forward to working with you!
