Let me help refine your work for clarity, coherence, and academic excellence.
Whether you’re shaping an early draft or preparing for submission, I provide comprehensive editing and supportive research consultation to ensure your research and papers meet academic expectations and publication standards.
Services
Developmental
Editing
I provide high-level guidance on the structure, content, and coherence of your manuscript. I focus on strengthening arguments, alignment across sections, and overall organization while supporting your development as a scholar and preserving your voice.
Line Editing
I focus on sentence-level clarity, flow, and academic tone in manuscripts that are structurally sound. Edits improve readability, transitions, and style while maintaining your intended meaning and disciplinary conventions. Only intended for manuscripts that have already undergone several content revisions and has a solid structure.
Copyediting
I correct grammar, punctuation, and mechanical errors while ensuring consistency in terminology, formatting, and citations. This service helps prepare near-final drafts for submission by aligning them with academic and style-guide standards. Only intended for manuscripts that have already undergone several content revisions.
Proofreading
I conduct a final review to catch remaining typographical errors and minor formatting issues. Proofreading is for fully revised manuscripts that are ready for submission or publication. The goal is to produce a clean, error-free document.
Reference Checking & Formatting
I ensure accuracy and consistency between in-text citations and reference lists. This service corrects formatting issues and resolves mismatches to improve citation integrity and professionalism. If submiting to a journal, I will check for compliance with specific journal requirments.
Methodological
Consultation
I provide mentoring-focused guidance on quantitative research design, analysis decisions, and interpretation of results. This service supports clear, rigorous methodological choices and effective reporting of quantitative findings.
