About this Gig
Hire a former professor of English who works with university presses and see why my clients have said:
"A rare blend of care, compassion, and empowerment." (M.P., SDSU)
"His attention to detail, and his responsiveness, made the copyediting process straightforward and even enjoyable!" (M.G., UKY)
"Jonathan literally saved me from failing by his suggestions for rearranging paragraphs, replacing sentences, proper English structure." (T.J., SDSU)
My very first editing experience was for a CSULA professor's book on medieval poetry back in 2015. Since then, I have had the privilege of reviewing and cleaning various essays, dissertations, anthologies, and even a museum catalogue for the Newberry Library.
I'm looking for more than just correct spelling and grammar, which can follow US, UK, or blended (e.g., Canadian or Australian) English conventions as needed. I will make sure your manuscript has coherent structural flow, command of nuances in diction and syntax, and proper adherence to its house style, genre, and field of research.
I have helped scholars and writers succeed for over 10 years. Let me assist you too.

All sorts! I have edited and proofread personal statements, memoirs in education and cultural studies, anthologies on racecraft or queer studies, a museum catalogue about premodern prints, and even a thesis about singlet oxygen. Whatever your topic, I can provide masterful assistance with.
