Oscar Wilde is purported to have mentioned in a conversation, “I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” As another Oxford University graduate (English Ph.D.), I feel the same way! That’s why I’d like to see everyone fulfill their wildest dreams and reach for the stars 🌟 with better writing! I am a freelance academic editor, part-time associate professor, and former caregiver. If you’re looking for someone to edit your thesis, article, book proposal, or book, I should be your top choice. Unlike many editors out there, I am a book author who has also contributed book chapters, book reviews, essays for peer-reviewed journals, and articles for popular media while performing peer reviews for journals and book publishers: in other words, I know what book and journal editors are looking for, so I can guide prospective clients from the dual perspectives of published writer AND editor. My twenty years of experience in university-level teaching also means that I am particularly adept in helping others—whether undergraduate or faculty—organize and structure any written text, craft a more cogent argument, and write the perfect sentence. My skills include: —Over 20 years of undergraduate teaching experience, including online and onsite, with excellent course evaluations and faculty observation reports—20 years of writing for peer-reviewed journals —10 years of performing peer reviews for journals in literature, history, and political thought (which means evaluating academic essays written by university faculty)—7 years of book writing —5 years of doctoral dissertation editing (not including my own!)Here’s a bit about me:—I’m a native English speaker and writer who learned French and German in secondary school and college. I was also raised by multilingual parents—and as such, I understand the different challenges faced by native and non-native writers of English alike.—I have a Ph.D. in English literature from Oxford University (yes, THAT one).—Despite my specialization in English, I have a solid grounding in the humanities, arts and social sciences including other literatures, history, art, and music. —I believe in good and timely communication so I’ll always answer your emails in less than 24 hrs. —I’m also a fast worker who can adapt to your needs.See below for further details on my past and forthcoming publications, book proposals, teaching, education, recommendations, and endorsements.
