Editing

I offer a full range of editorial services:

• Structural Editing
  • overall coherence of the text, development of the argument, evidentiary support
• Stylistic Editing
  • consistency and clarity of writing, application of conventions of English academic writing while maintaining individual voice and expression. I am also familiar with Younging’s Elements of Indigenous Style
• Content Editing
  • argument, clarity,  consistency
• Copy Editing
  • spelling, grammar, syntax, consistency, clarity
• Proof Reading
  • finalizing page proofs before publication (can be combined with indexing)
• Technical editing
  • notes, bibliographies, manuscript preparation

I do all work on computer using the track-changes and comments functions in MS Word or Apple Pages to ensure the integrity of the text.

I have worked on book manuscripts, journal editions, PhD dissertations, government reports, exhibition catalogues, and journal articles in art, art history, cultural studies, film, history, Indigenous studies, and photography, to name a few.
