Rudy Leon – Editor

On Reedsy, I focus on cookbooks (dessert, global cuisines, vegetarian and vegan foods, and cocktails in particular) and trade books about food and foodways. I have a decade of experience as an editor and indexer, with specialized training as a cookbook indexer.

Off Reedsy, I offer a suite of editorial services for scholarly material: developmental editing, manuscript review, copyediting and indexing, as well as providing coaching and consulting services around scholarly publishing processes and supporting dissertation revisions, book proposal development, and navigating reader reviews. I have extensive experience working across the humanities and social sciences, especially political science and international relations, gender studies, media and communication studies, LIS, history, and American, African-American and ethnic studies.

I particularly enjoy helping early career scholars create successful book proposals, and navigate the challenges of turning the dissertation into a publishable book.

After having difficulties with Reedsy's payment processor, Reedsy inactivated my profile. I can be reached via my website, rudyleon.com.
