(Please have a look at what I do and my ethos and experience here.)

Developmental editing

Developmental editing can include (but is not limited to):

• working together on a book or article manuscript from initial concept, outline, and/or draft through full draft or project completion

• book proposals

• tenure materials

• assessing your writing style for clarity, organization, and presentation

• identifying and solving problems with clarity, precision of language and argument, organizational weaknesses, signposting, redundancies, nonacademic tone, verbosity, overused or tired turns of phrase, generalizations, and/or unsubstantiated claims

• “R&R” (revise and resubmit) strategies (including prioritizing review commentary, creating a revision plan, and writing the response letter)

Stylistic editing

Stylistic editing may include editing on 1) organizational and structural levels, 2) paragraph level, and/or 3) sentence level, depending on the writer’s needs. All work includes editing for consistency in tone and style, as well as a final proofread for lighter stylistic work. This service is done in-text using the track changes feature in Word.
