Academic Editing
Some of the academic and technical materials I edit:
- graduate theses and dissertations*
- scholarly articles for journal submission
- conference proceedings
*Dissertation and thesis editing requires prior approval from academic supervisors according to the agreement set out in Editors Canada’s Guidelines for Ethical Editing of Theses/Dissertations.
ESL Editing
If English is not your first language, it can be especially difficult to edit and proofread your own writing. I have worked extensively with non-native writers over the past 20 years as a teacher, online tutor, and editor. I can smooth and polish your work by editing to correct errors in grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
Distance Learning
For distance education and e-learning materials, a substantive or structural edit can incorporate an instructional design review focused on the following:
- course objectives, learning objectives, learning outcomes
- course structure and content
- assessments, including self-assessments and assignments
- navigation and directions to students/learners
