My work as an editor is to amplify your voice and your contributions.
As an Editor-in-Chief for a peer-reviewed academic journal, series editor for a major university press, and even as a reviewer for tenure cases, I see abstracts, manuscripts, and proposals that are incredibly well-researched, but poorly written. Don’t let this happen to you! I am here to guide you in the overall development and organization of your argument. Work with me to shape a text that reflects your personal voice, as well as highlights your contributions to your field.
