I have several academic papers that must be brought to publication-ready standard. Your role is strictly copyediting: tightening language, correcting grammar and punctuation, ensuring consistency in terminology, and aligning citations and references with the required style guide (APA, MLA, or Chicago—details will be shared per manuscript). These are scholarly texts, so I value an editor who already feels at home with academic tone and who can work comfortably in Microsoft Word using Track Changes. I will provide the current drafts and any journal or conference guidelines up front; you return a clean version plus the marked-up file, along with a short editorial memo explaining major changes. Accuracy and clarity are paramount. If you have experience copyediting research articles, dissertations, or conference papers, I’d love to see samples of your work and an outline of your turnaround time per 5,000 words.
