Doing research. Teaching and mentoring students. Assigning work and grading papers. Holding office hours. Speaking at conferences. Developing the curriculum and designing courses. Attending meetings. Writing reports. And so on…
On top of this workload, there is the constant pressure to publish, particularly if you want to get ahead in your career. At any time, you might be working on one or more of the following:
- a book proposal
- a book chapter or full manuscript
- a journal article
- a conference paper
- a grant application
Let me lighten your load.
As your editor, here’s some of what I can do for you:
- tweak your typos, check your citations, fix your formatting – all the tedious stuff
- untangle your arguments and/or structure when you are so deep in your work that you can’t see the forest for the trees anymore
- elevate your writing to the level of clarity, precision, and eloquence you’ve always admired in leading scholars’ work while preserving your authentic voice
- ensure consistency in long, unwieldy manuscripts
- polish your scholarly book proposal so you can submit it with full confidence to your target publisher
- keep you on track with your publishing targets
