Marcel Chiera

Marcel Chiera – Editor

Editing. I've been doing that forever, it seems. Since I wrote my first word at age two and thought, "Hey! I can do better than that."

Overview

My qualifications are based on over two decades of editorial experience on print, digital, and online publications.

My services include proofreading and copy editing for all levels of complexity.

I also provide stylistic or substantive editing services to ensure that structure, style, tone, voice, and reading level is appropriate for the intended audience.

I suggest deletions, additions, or rearrangements of content for a more appropriate structure and sequence.

In all cases, the author’s intended meaning is kept intact.

For several years, my clients have consisted mainly of universities and higher learning educators. I have edited numerous business case studies for Harvard Business Publishing, Ivey Publishing, and Cornell Johnson College, among others, on companies such as Twitter, Uber, Airbnb, and most other start-ups that have become household names.

Sure. The cover and interior design of business case studies are really boring. Just plain text. So there are no pictures to show here. But the business situations. . . now, that's the interesting part!
