Need an Editor?

I edit English-language academic papers, theses, and dissertations.

Specifically, I offer basic copy-editing:

• grammar, spelling, punctuation
• citation and formatting consistency
• clarity of writing

And more advanced editing services, such as:

• argument organization and critique, suggestions for strengthening your argument
• help with any and all "distillation" needs: abstracts, blurbs, etc.
• a second reading

For students and academics whose first language is not English, I also offer long-term editing partnerships which are specially suited to strengthening your writing and making you a more self-confident writer and researcher.

• One skype consultation during the writing process and one after I've read the first draft
• Detailed explanations of any repeated grammar mistakes; corrections made in track-changes.

If you are interested in anything here, please contact me at coolidge [at] sabanciuniv.edu.
