Third Eye Editing and Research

I edit all types of writing projects, but as a Ph.D., I specialize in scholarly and non-fiction prose. For the past seven years, I have been the staff copyeditor for a refereed online journal, so I am familiar with the world of academic publishing and know what it takes for an article to be accepted for publication. In addition to editing scores of articles, I have worked on multi-author research reports and books, as well as dissertations across a range of social science subjects. My clients over the past 14 years have included academics and non-academics, professors and students, seasoned authors and fledgling writers. I have also worked extensively with authors who are not native English speakers. I offer a range of editing services from proofreading to copyediting to substantive editing and re-writing. My many years of experience enable me to work quickly without compromising careful attention to detail. The goal of my research work is to produce knowledge that helps non-profit and community-based organizations improve their communities. At the same time, by putting my research and writing skills to work, I help those organizations build their own capacity for success. I’ve been trained to conduct a variety of methods of rigorous research. I’ve also been a staff researcher and writer for a national non-profit organization where I worked with some of the best union researchers in the country. I understand the value of persuasively presenting research findings, especially for groups who are working for positive change in their communities. I can design a research project, carry it out, and write up the findings in accessible—and if appropriate, persuasive—language for a range of audiences.
