Academic Editing

Tompkins Square Editing specializes in academic editing. I have a PhD in English and over 20 years of editing experience, and have published academic articles on literature and philosophy. I can help scholars in the humanities and social sciences rethink or restructure their arguments, or rewrite abstracts, introductions, and conclusions. I know the difference between terminology and jargon, and I know how to recalibrate a manuscript when the intended audience includes lay people as well as specialists. I can provide peer review–level feedback. I can follow MLA, APA, or the Chicago Manual of Style, or the particular style or in-house guidelines of any journal or publisher to which you are submitting your manuscript.
