Overview
With over ten years of experience as a copy editor, I specialise in academic non-fiction and scholarly monographs, particularly in Anthropology and the Social Sciences. I’ve worked with leading publishers such as Berghahn Books, UCL Press, Routledge, and Cornell University Press, ensuring each manuscript meets the highest editorial standards and adheres to style guides including Chicago and APA.
My approach is calm, thorough, and collaborative. I have extensive experience helping ESL researchers refine journal articles for publication, ensuring their ideas are expressed with clarity and idiomatic precision. I also regularly assist academics in preparing polished, submission-ready theses and dissertations. Beyond academia, I've also guided first-time and established fiction authors through the editorial process.
This range of experience has fostered a unique cross-cultural editorial expertise, allowing me to approach each project with a sharp eye for style and structure while preserving the author's voice.
