Academic Editing Process

I work with track changes and insert comments to explain the rationale for any significant change. Not only do I check for formatting and grammar, spelling, citation/reference accuracy, etc., I also check for continuity of terminology and context, confirm numbering and sequence of any appendices mentioned, and I cross check any data you present to ensure accuracies throughout.

My thesis supervisor noted that working with Karen improved my work and that her edits and advice were spot on for the academic context and departmental guidelines for my work.

Karen was a life saver. She taught me to be a better writer. I am indebted to Karen for her speed, her accuracy, and her APA skills.

Karen was wonderful to work with. She was prompt with her responses and helped me to meet my deadlines. I appreciated not just edits that improved my work, but comments that helped me to improve my writing overall.

You are very conscious of deadlines and work quickly and efficiently. You were easy to work with, and accommodated the idiosyncrasies of my graduate school in the UK. Overall your editing work was excellent.
