I’m Amanda, a freelance academic editor with a background in sociology and demography (MA/Res). I’ve studied and worked across the US, Germany, and Spain, and I specialize in working with non-native English/ESL speakers who want their writing to sound fluent, polished, and publication-ready, without losing their unique voice.
I offer developmental editing, line and copyediting, and final proofreading for nonfiction and academic projects. My sweet spot is complex, research-driven writing: journal articles, dissertations and theses, academic book chapters, and nonfiction manuscripts that aim to inform, persuade, or inspire.
I approach editing as a collaboration—not a correction. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and treat every project with care and clarity. So, whether you're struggling with flow, tone, structure, or just need a second set of expert eyes, I’ll meet your writing where it is and help you take it where it needs to go.
