EDITING and WRITING SERVICES

I have been an editor for over 18 years, specializing in academic and nonfiction texts. With a background in anthropology, I bring a cultural relativist perspective to my work, ensuring sensitivity to diverse viewpoints and disciplinary conventions. Whether refining complex arguments, enhancing clarity, or maintaining an author’s unique voice, I provide thoughtful, precise editing, tailored to each client's needs.
