About me
I am an editor with 10+ years editing interdisciplinary English writing, covering academic subjects like anthropology, sociology, migration studies, political sciences, semiotics, art history, and gender studies. I work with academics and research-focused writers, fine-tuning their work to accentuate their voices and reach their desired audiences. My clients work in academia, NGOs, and in the arts and culture industry.
I hold a PhD in anthropology and sociology from SOAS University of London (2023), an MSc in social anthropology from the University of Oxford (2014), and a BA in anthropology and art history from Durham University (2013). I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (UK).

My services
-
Copyediting & Proofreading
I review texts for grammar, consistency, and tone of voice. I also proofread to catch any errors and inconsistencies in the final stages before publication.
-
Formatting
I follow the style guides of my clients’ publishers and journals to format the texts correctly for publication. If desired, I can support in integrating images and audiovisual materials.
-
Sensitivity Reading
I can read over your text to ensure you are using inclusive language so you can engage diverse audiences in your work, particularly those of the Global Majority and people identifying as LGBTQIA+.
-
Developmental Editing
I can support you to structure your text in a way that fully supports your central argument(s), ensuring that you get the most out of your research.
-
Publishing Support
Finding the right journal and publisher for your work can be a monumental task in its own right. I can help you find the right publishers and adapt your writing to their needs for higher publishing success.
-
Book Proposals
I can support you in crafting a solid book proposal and help you navigate the process of developing your book idea according to your writing, the needs of the publisher and those of your desired audience.
-
Images & Audiovisual Content
I can help you figure out style and placement, data protection queries and securing image and audiovisual content rights for your publications.
My process
Before taking on a project, I define what work is needed and agree on a bespoke price and timeline together with you.
I invite new clients to share a 1000-word piece so I can estimate the potential workload. I edit the first 500 words for free so you can assess whether my editing style suits your needs.I ensure that I have received all the relevant information, including your publisher of choice, relevant style guides, referencing preferences, your preferences around inclusive language (if any), and your preferred software (e.g. Word, Google Docs, InCopy).
I get to work and deliver the project to you on time as agreed.
I offer one feedback round as part of my initial quote, though multiple are possible. Based on this, I will incorporate your ideas and concerns and offer suggestions.
A note on pricing
My pricing structure is detailed in the Terms and Conditions. That said, I operate on a sliding scale, basing my quotes on your current income, career stage, permanent vs. impermanent position, and location. Please include any information you think would be relevant when asking for a quote. I will handle your data with absolute confidentiality. Please see my Privacy Policy for more details.
