I will professionally, thoughtfully edit proofread academic writing
Editor and Proofreader
About this Gig
The overall direction of this gig is not generic proofreading or bargain editing. The emphasis is on thoughtful academic editing that preserves your voice while focusing on clarity, structure, and flow. Multilingual non-native writers of American English are supported, as are emerging and transitional writers. This gig reflects realistic understanding of academic writing across educational levels and scholarly contexts. The framework emerged from practical academic experience, including teaching freshman composition where APA formatting was required.
The pricing structure is not based solely on word count. It is also based on complexity, density of thought, level of academic development, continuity across sections, cognitive/editorial workload, organizational demands, time commitment, and emotional/mental sustainability for the editor. Longer documents increase labor exponentially rather than linearly. The framework therefore distinguishes between shorter academic writing, sustained academic writing, and manuscript-scale scholarly projects rather than treating all writing as interchangeable word counts.
