Academic Editing

I'm often asked if I do academic editing.

Clients should know that there are ethical issues around editing student papers.

If the paper is designed to test your English skills, the answer is a clear, no editor should be editing your paper.

If the paper is testing your knowledge and the writing skills are secondary, an editor may be allowed to edit the paper.

I hold a Master of Education degree. I value what that degree means in the academic community. Editors with high credentials do all they can to uphold academic standards.

If you are in an undergraduate program, an editor may need consent from your instructor before editing your work.

If you are writing graduate of post-graduate papers, an editor can work on various levels.

I can do a copy edit of your text.

What I no longer do is format papers according to academic standards. You would be responsible for footnontes, bibliography, references, etc. In other words, I restrict myself to the content of the paper.

If you need someone to do the formatting as well as the editing, let me recommend Kristen King.

Please note that I do not make recommendations as a rule. Kristen has my full confidence.

If you want me to do a copy edit, please use the contact form to explain your situation.
