Editing Expertise

I identify as a generalist editor with special expertise in academic research (humanities and social sciences) and creative nonfiction. I have particular experience in those areas—both in terms of formal training and as an editor. However, I cast a wide net in my thinking, and the list below doesn’t fully speak to the extent of my interests (for example, I’m a speculative fiction fanatic).

For that reason, please be in touch if you have something in mind that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the categories below. I would love to hear about what you’ve been working on. Chances are that it will turn out to be a great fit.
