Clear and concise language is a necessary ingredient of getting your message across. Whether it is an academic text, an advertisement, a creative work, or a news piece, you want the reader to be able to understand the meaning of your words. This is why you need an accomplished wordsmith to edit, copy edit, and rewrite your material.
NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
When I say I am a top-notch wordsmith, I mean I am an accomplished writer and copy editor. Although the focus of my own writing is fiction, I have extensive experience copyediting academic and scholarly texts in the fields of Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology and Medicine. I am also familiar with Paleontology, Geology, and Zoology. I have have published articles on boxing, fishing/angling, art, and literature. I know AMA, APA, Index Medicus, and Chicago Manual of Style styles. I also have extensive production experience. I know layout, scheduling, type- faces and sizes. My past experience includes designing, writing, and editing advertisements and textual material for an innovative New York Book Bindery; overseeing the production quarterly social science journals from manuscript to bound-book; writing rewriting, and editing copy for a monthly 80-page four-color magazine; writing feature articles on boxing, fishing, and general interest topics; writing headlines and captions, and doing background research. I also speak, read, and write German.
