  I have 15 years experience editing nonfiction writing, including dissertations and theses, research articles, online curriculum (PowerPoint), self-published monographs, book chapters, grant applications, and research proposals. I copy edit, line edit, and proofread the materials. I also format document layout, tables, figures, citations and references, and slide presentation. I provide developmental editing for journal papers. During the editing process, I condense text to meet a word or page limit, or, conversely, I help you expand your paper to its required length. I correct citation format for reference styles such as APA, AMA, Harvard, Vancouver, Chicago, MLA, IEEE, and non-standard styles required by the publisher. I work with you to ensure your writing is clear and polished. If English is not your first language, I help you express your ideas. With an ability to read between the lines and identify main ideas and secondary threads, I help you express your concepts to your audience. I research your topic during the editing process to better understand your paper. I have some experience editing professional and workplace writing, and I desire more opportunities in this category. Examples include editing magazine articles for trade publications, white literature, gray literature, presentations, handbooks, newsletters, and business correspondence.
