Type of work

Responds in about 25 min

Introduction: First things first. I copyedit, development edit, proofread, and format academic work (journal articles, academic non-fiction manuscripts, PhD applications, dissertations, and theses). I also work with companies on papers, web content, and reports. However, I do not ghost write. I have taught for over ten years at universities and colleges. I continue to teach and now also offer my editing services to academics and students beyond my campus walls. Having been in academia for years is helpful in knowing what written work makes the grade or goes to print. An inside perspective puts me in a unique vantage point:-) When editing, I seek to make manuscripts clear, precise, and consistent while retaining the writer's style. I have a keen eye when it comes to grammar and syntax. You can expect your documents to be precise as well as to communicate your ideas in a complete and engaging fashion. Professionalism, personalization, and satisfaction is my modus operandi!

The editing was of a very high quality. It went beyond the mechanics of grammar and punctuation to grasp the deeper meanings and philosophical ideas which were being communicated. By shining a light on inconsistencies and offering solutions for revision, the editor was able to transform the work from average to excellent. Heartfelt thanks also for timely response and professionalism.

Any disagreements that I had with Sangeeta's suggestions and commentary of my edited manuscript were easily dwarfed by her great customer service skills. She is a very accommodating freelancer, even reaching out to me offing additional guidance and advice after she had returned my edited book. Such behavior will be appreciated by any author, especially a debut one such as myself.
