Subject-matter knowledge and editorial experience
My subject-matter knowledge allows me to go beyond the presentation and structure of a text, engaging also with its substantive content and helping to strengthen its clarity and accuracy.
My editorial approach combines close attention to detail with a focus on the bigger picture. I look not only for precision and consistency at the level of individual sentences, but also for the coherence, structure and strength of the argument as a whole.
I can also support publications outside my own areas of subject-matter expertise, as well as expert publications that are not purely academic.
Across the publication process
Work with authors and publishers can cover the lifecycle of a publication, from the development and preparation of articles, journals and books to the verification of proofs.
Publication development: Support with developing the structure and content of articles, books and other academic publications.
Manuscript assessment: Independent assessment of a manuscript, with attention to its structure, coherence, argument and overall readiness for publication.
Substantive editing: Detailed work with the text to strengthen its structure, argument and clarity while preserving the author’s voice and intended meaning.
Copy-editing and proof-reading: Careful editing and checking for clarity, consistency, accuracy, grammar and style.
Indexing: In-depth analysis of keywords and concepts useful for an index and identification of relevant pages for each entry.
Verification of proofs: Final checking of proofs against the approved manuscript, including text, references, formatting and index entries.
