  I specialize in article and book academic editing and working with multilingual authors. My background is in philosophy, literature, and Asian studies, but I generally work with clients across the humanities and social sciences. I line edit, copyedit, proofread, evaluate manuscripts, and provide developmental editing.

As an editor, I’ll help you polish your prose, improve clarity, and ensure that your manuscript conforms to the journal’s or publisher’s house style. I also believe a good editor is a writer’s advocate and ally. I’ll help you reach your reader and make their reading experience the best it can be. My academic background will help you improve the cogency and argumentative narrative of your manuscript.

I earned my PhD in Philosophy and have published in ethics, social philosophy, and the philosophical traditions of China. I also served as department chair until I left academia in 2020 (during the pandemic) to become a writing coach and freelance academic editor. For more information about me, you can visit my site, RamseyEditorial.com, or email me directly.
