  I'm a retired professor and former business management newsletter editor who enjoys helping clients in a variety of fields refine and improve their nonfiction documents.

Whether you need assistance with a large, 180K-word textbook, a medium sized 77K-word book or short articles, graduate school application statements or dissertations< I am here to help.

Among my recent work are structural/line editing and proofreading for faculty and students at:

Oxford University
Harvard
UMass
Reykjavik University
Columbia
NYU

Clients use my expertise to increase the clarity in areas including business management, AI, psychology, cybersecurity, medicine and engineering and beyond.

What unites these effective edits is a deep understanding of writing garnered over a 3-decade, academic career, a firm grasp of English grammar, and an innate ability to turn complicated ideas into easy-to-understand language.
