Sometimes all you have is a rough draft. Or you feel you cannot improve a document – be it a report, a journal article, a chapter, or a book manuscript – any further, at least not without an objective second pair of eyes. I can help.
This type of editing is a process, and it starts with me providing detailed feedback on a document: what works and what does not, and how the material can be made clearer and stronger. I focus mainly on clarity, consistency, organisation, presentation, and flow. If the project falls in my subject-areas of expertise and interest in politics and international relations, I also include comment on substance.
If you want, I can then support you through the revision process in several ways: I can offer further suggestions as you revise, I can read and review revised drafts, or I can reorder and rewrite material. It depends on what we agree together.
Equally important to know is what I do not do. I do not create content, conduct research, or check facts. I also do not provide developmental editing for theses, dissertations, or any other academic work to be submitted for examination.
