About
I am a writer who has written for newspaper, radio, magazine and online news outlets. I also have a PhD, and I am an expert in academic writing (ie. dissertations, personal statements etc). Not many people have the experience as a writer, an editor, and an academic. But, I do! I am fast and I charge a flat rate, so you know exactly what you are going to pay before the work starts. I charge based on the number of pages and the deadline. My prices also include additional rounds of edits. Having experience in both academia and writing can make a big difference. I am not a part of a business that just churns out edits that are not personalized. I have a ton of experience to back up what I do. This makes for a better product for you! I want to help people tell their story, and become better writers. I love to edit and I have more experience than most writing academic papers, personal statements, and feature articles. I know how to do it successfully.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Looby. She was thorough and expedited any edits in just a few days. All of her corrections were spot on and recommendations for wording and clarity were much appreciated. I couldn't have gotten through the editing process of my dissertation without her. I would highly recommend!!!
