Developmental​​ Editing

Academia can be a solitary and often isolating endeavor but it doesn't have to be that way! You deserve to have a champion who is with you every step of the way - someone who has been a first-generation doctoral student, a female faculty of color, and a mom. My experience as a dissertation adviser, a tenured professor, and scholar is central to my compassionate and mindful approach to supporting my clients. Whether you are looking for one-time support, short term, or long term support, I'm here for you.

Invest in a Professional Developmental Editor

What is a developmental editor?

A developmental editor is like an all-in-one personal mentor, technical editor, and thought partner for your academic project(s) or journey – at least, that’s how I define myself. As a developmental editor, I help and guide you from wherever you may be in the writing development process – I will meet you WHEREVER you are, no judgment, only support.

How do I know if I need a developmental editor?

You are working on your writing and you need more than basic editing help (although basic editing will help too!).  You need a dedicated thought partner, compassionate listener, thorough editor, and maybe even an occasional cheerleader.
