Alana Dunn Email & Phone Number

Although I have been a freelance copyeditor since 2009, I transitioned to line editing and copyediting full time in 2019 and launched Regent Square Editing LLC. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, and I have served as the copyeditor for Bull City Press since 2009 and for the Bolivian Studies Journal since 2023. At Regent Square Editing, I enjoy working with scholars in the humanities on their academic publications. To learn more, please visit my website: www.regentsquareediting.com.
