Excellent editor (Stanford PhD): articles, essays, dissertations

My passion is making your writing sing.

I hold a PhD in English from Stanford and now work as a professional writer and editor. My writing has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, KQED, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere.

Over the course of fifteen years of editing, I’ve helped students and professors of all academic disciplines, writing proficiencies, and English language abilities improve their writing. I’ve edited projects such as:

⭐ A Mechanics and Computation dissertation;
⭐ College and high school application essays;
⭐ Peer-reviewed articles in Buddhist studies;
⭐ A book on communication skills for doctors;
⭐ A novel manuscript;
⭐ Job applications for a Music professor;
⭐ A Master’s thesis in Historic Preservation;
⭐ Newsletter and blog copy for an elite test prep company.

I will deliver feedback at the level and in the format that’s most convenient for you. Options include but are not limited to:

✅ Proofreading
✅ Copyediting
✅ Developmental editing
✅ Ghostwriting
✅ Brainstorming sessions
✅ Live feedback over Zoom or in person
✅ Asynchronous feedback (Google Docs, Word, etc.)

Please message me today for rates (which vary according to type of editing desired), or to book a free discovery call. During this no-commitment chat, I'll answer any questions you might have, and you can decide whether I'm the best fit for your project.
