Academic

As a professional bilingual copy editor, I have worked with academic publishers in the United States and Latin America to guarantee specialized corrections to style, grammar, and citations. I can also help provide greater clarity to your text by suggesting clearer sentences and paragraph restructuring, providing smoother transitions, verifying cross-references, citations, and fact-checking.

Additionally, I provide academic translation services and specialize in English as a second language (ESL) academic editing. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and have a reading knowledge of Portuguese and French.

Fields: Social sciences, international relations, literature.
Technical editorial skills: PerfectIt, Word Macros, Adobe Markup Tools.
Copyediting styles: Chicago Style, APA, MLA, and AP styles, but I can also work with in-house styles.

Current Clients

Since August 2021, I have been working as a freelance copy editor and proofreader for the International Security journal and the Technology and Public Purpose project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University. I am always looking to expand my clientele, particularly to work on Latin American, immigrant, and indigenous issues, and can offer competitive rates. Happy to talk!
