Academic Editing
I make your text
scholarly, yet readable
Editor Antonia Morton
For 30+ years, I’ve edited material on a diverse range of academic subjects — mostly in the arts and humanities, with a few forays into the "soft" sciences. As an intelligent generalist, I have yet to meet the text I can’t persuade to sound clearer and more reader-friendly.
I add style, clarity and accuracy to your:
thesis * dissertation * essay * paper * journal article * book manuscript
Letter of Intent * Statement of Purpose * website or blog * grant application speech or script * CV or résumé * citations, references, bibliography.
My specialty: helping you to repurpose papers for popular publication — rephrasing stiff and formal “academic” text to make it more concise and approachable.
I’ve worked on a wide variety of topics. My editing portfolio includes papers, articles and books on literature, history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, economics, nursing, politics, military spending, self-help, international economic development, computer learning, architecture, Excel spreadsheets, project management, linguistics, financial management, wine-making, home design, and many, many more subjects.
