Editing & publication support
Preparing social research for publication and impact
I provide specialist developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading for academic, policy-focused, and programme texts in English. Drawing on my background as a social science researcher and established academic author, I engage closely with content, structure, argument, and language.
I support clients at all stages of the writing process, from shaping early drafts to preparing final texts for submission, dissemination, or publication, with particular attention to clarity, voice, audience, and positioning.

What defines my approach
Editorial judgement informed by research and publishing experience
As an established author, I understand the pressures and stakes involved in publishing. I work collaboratively and transparently with clients to ensure their ideas and arguments are communicated faithfully and effectively through clear, polished, and compelling text that remains true to the author’s voice.
