Hello! I am seeking an experienced APA editor for my doctoral dissertation (clinical psych) on Lacanian psychoanalysis and Christian mystical theology. It applies insights from an ancient monastic reading practice, Lectio Divina, to the task of clinical listening. The first three chapters (50-pages) have already been professionally edited. I have the fourth chapter ready (25 pages) and the final two (~30 p) nearly finished. I would like to find someone soon who can begin editing what I have and be ready when the last chapters are done, so that I can save on turnaround time leading up to publication. I've been told by many that my academic writing is strong, and my chair has been very involved in line edits, so hopefully the work will be light on grammar and sentence structure. However, I would appreciate some rhetorical suggestions when needed, as well as tips on tone/structure. How I imagine the workflow: 1. 15-min phone call to plan how we will track changes and share documents. I can share my university's requirements for professional editors and send the handbook pages on this matter. NOTE: I am required to submit a copy of the manuscript with markups as proof of professional editing along with my finished draft. 2. Please read my first three chapters (proposal) to understand the project. This has already been professionally edited, so it should only need a skim. However, these chapters need to be changed to the past tense. Please help here. I understand this will involve edits to potentially half the pages. 3. Chapter 4 edits. It is written and edited by me and my chair, but not polished or checked for APA format. 4. Chapters 5 and 6 are ready in about one month. Line by line edits will be needed. 5. Combine into one document, format, and check references. NOTE: I am using Zotero plugin in Word. The in-text citations are linked to items in my list of references. The plugin feature imports data from the Zotero app and can be refreshed. If edited directly, when the plugin refreshes, edits are lost and items are reverted to the metadata in Zotero. (explaining this is part of why I feel a phone call is needed) So, I would like the references to be formatted at the very end after I "unlink" from the plugin. This will "break" the functions but keep all the data in the document. Then edits can be suggested or made directly. One time-saving benefit of using Zotero, is that we can trust that all in-text citations do have a corresponding citation in the references list, so you do not need to scroll back and forth and back and forth in a tedious manner making sure that they match up. I have found a couple of errors I made with this, but have resolved them all. An hourly arrangement over a two-month period would be ideal. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Overview I'm a keynote speaker, tech founder, and researcher, and I need a polished 90-second sizzle reel (with a longer 2–2.5 minute cut as well) built from existing footage. This reel will be used to book paid speaking engagements with corporations, conferences, and universities, so it needs to look sharp, confident, and high-end. I have raw footage, talk recordings, and a podcast clip ready to hand over via Google Drive. Your job is to turn that into a reel that makes a booker immediately want me on their stage. What you'll be editing You'll have a Google Drive folder with all my footage and images. I'm not going to tell you how to cut it — I'd rather you watch everything and bring your best. Below is just a contents list so you know what's in there, plus a couple of files to skip. Video footage (in the folder) "So Ambitious" podcast (MOV) — 165,000+ views (my most-watched clip) Pacific Rim Conference keynote — full video with drone footage / high production value Black Ambition Demo Day livestream — the pitch where I won the $1M grand prize Harvard University talk — "inaccessibility vs. the disability market" ASU+GSV panel and National Parents Union panel Institutional language clip (from TikTok) — my newest topic Neurodiversity talk "After an autism diagnosis, the first thing I tell families" Black excellence panel Live morning show (full) and Fox 40 / budget shortfalls segment Funding / "gate-openers" clip, acceptance speech, IEP process explainer, and several B-roll clips of me Images (in the folder) Headshots · me on Fox 40 · me on the morning show · National Parents Union panel · me in front of Stanford · me and my daughter · AERA 2026 promo ("Computational Analysis of IEP Language and Family Voice") · Black Ambition check photo. Your approach Watch the footage, find the moments that hit hardest, and build the strongest reel you can. Surprise me. If it works, I'll trust your instincts on future cuts too. The only hard rule: open with a hook, not a slow logo intro. Deliverables Primary cut: 90-second sizzle reel Extended cut: 2–2.5 minute version Project files / source file so future clips can be added without rebuilding from scratch Formatted for both landscape (16:9) and a vertical/square (9:16 or 1:1) version for social What makes a strong reel (please read) Open with a hook in the first 3–5 seconds — a strong line or moment on stage, not a slow logo intro Fast, rhythmic pacing; short clips that build energy Clean lower-thirds with my name, title, and topic Include 2–3 short on-screen quotes or credibility markers (I'll provide these) Light, tasteful background music (licensed/royalty-free only) Color-corrected, clean audio, professional captions/subtitles End on a clear call-to-action card (booking/contact info I'll provide) What I'll provide Google Drive folder with all raw footage and clips My name, titles, keynote topics, and credibility stats for on-screen text Logo and any brand colors The contact/CTA info for the end card Credibility markers to feature on-screen You can pull the logos and confirm all the outlets, stages, and awards directly from my Press & Speaking page — everything is listed and linked there: https://antoinetterbanks.com/press-speaking Build in a fast "as seen in" logo sequence and/or lower-third callouts using what's on that page. To apply, please include 2–3 speaker reels or sizzle reels you've edited (this is required — general video work isn't the same skill) A one-line note on how you'd open my reel to hook a booker Your turnaround time and your quote for the full deliverable set Confirmation you only use licensed/royalty-free music Budget & timeline Budget: 300-500 Timeline: Looking for a first draft within 5–7 days, with 1–2 rounds of revisions included Please quote revisions if you charge separately About working with me Clear brief, fast responses, prompt payment. The finished reel will be embedded on my website (antoinetterbanks.com) and used in booking pitches, so it needs to be web-ready and social-ready. If this first reel goes well, I book paid speaking engagements regularly and will need updated cuts as new footage comes in — so I'm looking for someone I can build a long-term relationship with, not a one-off.
