“Wendy is the editor you want for your academic book. She keeps her eye on your argument and on the minutiae of spelling, punctuation, and style—all aimed at coaxing your prose into its polished best. She’s kind and funny, and she makes the editing process productive and pleasant. I’ll hire her for all my future writing projects.”
— Kate Bredeson, Associate Professor of Theatre, Reed College
Academic writing requires meticulous attention to detail. In addition to subject-matter expertise, academic writing must use discipline-specific citation formats, follow publishers’ style sheets, and reflect the conventions and established practices of various fields.
Given the diminished editorial support provided by academic publishers, a knowledgeable, sharp-eyed editor is vital to your reputation—and maybe even your tenure or promotion review. I help my clients deliver coherent, consistent, properly formatted, and error-free materials.
I collaborate with authors at any and every stage of the writing process, from rough draft to copyediting to indexing. Past projects include manuscripts and journals published by Oxford University Press, Northwestern University Press, Duke University Press, and Routledge.
