About this Gig

Vetted Pro

First off, a note on this Gig's pricing. It's based on your word count, at thirty cents (US) per word. Seem expensive? To be clear, this is a ghostwriting Gig for after your degree is finished. See my other Gigs for simpler forms of editorial work ;-)


*Still working on your degree? See the FAQ below.*


You've finished a degree in humanities or social science, and now you'd like to publish some of your research. Great! Here's how I'll build a new manuscript from your thesis or dissertation:


  1. Revise, reorder, trim, and expand contents
  2. Provide original material to fill in gaps or replace complicated discussions
  3. Present the work according to a publisher's guidelines (or following CMoS, MLA, or APA)
  4. Compile an orderly manuscript in standard format and layout
  5. Recast any amount of material to present it in its best form for your audience


Through each stage of the work, I will clarify the arguments found in your materials and get you on your way to publication.


How does it work? As your ghostwriter, I first suggest possibilities from the viewpoint of a developmental editor. Then I adapt my role to include manuscript editing, content editing, and production of the final copy.

    This project has gone through multiple stages, and he has managed each effectively. He communicated clearly throughout the process and has proven to be a valued partner. The project involved restructuring existing work, streamlining processes, line editing, and aligning the work with specific publishing requirements. I will definitely work with him again.

    Craig was wonderful! I appreciated that he and I discussed and agreed upon a writing style guide before he did his magic editing my work. I cannot express how thankful I am for his attention to my manuscript! I appreciate his help to clean up the many commas and eliminate as many quotation marks as...
