Editing

I help researchers, leaders, and organizations communicate with clarity, precision, and impact. Drawing on my background as a behavioural science scholar and experienced editor, I refine manuscripts, reports, proposals, and strategic documents so your ideas land cleanly with the audiences that matter. Whether you’re preparing a journal submission, shaping a thesis chapter, or translating complex insights into executive‑ready communication, I bring a sharp editorial eye and a deep understanding of how people read, interpret, and respond to information. My goal is simple: to elevate your writing so your expertise is unmistakable.

As an academic with R1-level experience in Canada, the United States, and Australia, and as the author of three books and 100+ peer‑reviewed publications—including works in Financial Times Top 50 journals—along with editorial leadership for major business journals, I bring a level of editorial precision shaped by years of writing, revising, and publishing at the highest academic standards. I understand what strong scholarly communication looks like because I’ve lived it: crafting arguments, responding to reviewers, shaping manuscripts, and guiding ideas from draft to publication. Whether you’re preparing a thesis chapter, a journal submission, or a research commentary, I know the conventions, expectations, and nuances that help academic writing succeed.

My experience extends well beyond academia. I’ve edited and developed content across formats—professional reports, behavioural science insights, book manuscripts, websites, and strategic communication for organizations. This breadth allows me to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling writing tailored to the audience you need to reach. When you work with me, you’re not just getting an editor; you’re getting a researcher, communicator, and strategist who understands how to elevate ideas so they resonate with readers who matter.

Editing Services

  • Proofreading

    Proofreading is the final quality check before submission or publication. It focuses on surface‑level accuracy: spelling, punctuation, minor grammar issues, and formatting consistency. This service is ideal when your manuscript is already structurally sound and stylistically clear, but you want to eliminate distracting errors that can undermine credibility. I ensure your writing is clean, polished, and ready for reviewers, committees, or professional audiences.

  • Copyediting

    Copyediting focuses on the clarity, correctness, and consistency of your writing. It’s ideal when your ideas are already in place, but the language needs tightening so readers can follow your argument without distraction. I review your manuscript line by line to refine grammar, sentence structure, flow, and tone. I ensure terminology is used consistently, citations and references follow the required style, and the writing reads smoothly from start to finish. Copyediting strengthens the delivery of your ideas so the content feels polished, professional, and publication‑ready—whether it’s a journal article, thesis chapter, report, or executive document.

  • Developmental Editing

    Developmental editing works at a deeper level. Instead of focusing on sentences, it focuses on structure, logic, and argumentation. This is the right choice when you want help shaping the overall narrative: clarifying your research question, strengthening your theoretical framing, tightening your argument, reorganizing sections, or improving how evidence supports your claims. I look at the manuscript as a whole—what’s working, what’s missing, and what needs to be rethought. You receive detailed feedback, strategic guidance, and suggested revisions that help you elevate the manuscript’s clarity, coherence, and impact. Developmental editing is especially valuable for journal submissions, book chapters, grant proposals, and professional reports where the stakes are high and the message must land cleanly.
