Hello! I am a young and aspiring writer who has been writing poetry, reviews for literature and other forms of media, web articles, web content, and other various forms since I was just a sophomore in high school. I took a break from Upwork for other career endeavors but I am active again now as a full time freelancer. I enjoy all types of writing, and I am open to any project available; whether it is proofreading, or writing an article for a specific product, or novel. I have two poetry publications: a short poem in 2006, a Teen Ink magazine issue, and I was published in a national anthology for amateur poets for Eber and Wein Publications, in 2011. I am a new graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on English through Cal State University Long Beach. I currently am a professional writer/editor/content creator for a financing company. I create their advertisements, write and edit their social media campaigns, and I also write and publish their articled and blogs for their website. I am SEO friendly, and I am currently managing multiple websites for them and their partnered companies, so I also am familiar with web editing and design. I have also tutored students in writing, helping them improve essays and grammar skills along my own journey through college. I am very proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. As I continue my journey in creating pieces to inspire and change the world, help students succeed, my goal is to help companies succeed by writing any articles for specific products, write poetry that eases the heart and mind in this chaotic place we call the world, review content of any kind, so clients have a good word for their products, and help everyone grow along side me. It is important for me to consistently empower the world through the power of the written word through courage, magic, and brain!

I can help you develop your book idea and take it through the many editing stages needed to be polished and perfected for publication. I am experienced, detail-oriented, punctual, reliable, and ready to work for you. I offer: *Developmental/substantive editing *Copy editing *Line editing *Re-writing *Proofreading *Manuscript evaluations *Excellent communication during the course of your project *Competitive rates *Reliable, punctual, and professional service I have edited fiction novels and nonfiction books, memoirs, short stories, e-books, articles, essays, and more. I am a published author of seven books (six through traditional publishing and one self-published), and I worked for the Writers' Guild of Alberta for several years as a manuscript evaluator. I recently married and changed my name. Google search Judy Andrekson to see some of my written work.

I'm a professional book line and copy editor with active publishing credits at Bloomsbury Academic and Peter Lang, and an ongoing editorial relationship within the HarperCollins ecosystem. Most of my work is with manuscripts that are already well developed but not yet settled on the page – memoirs finding their shape, nonfiction books tightening their argument, academic writing being made readable for a broader audience. I work at sentence level and structural level, preserving the author's voice while making the writing do what it's trying to do. Alongside editorial work, I take on occasional writing projects – including educational fiction for young readers and reflective or essayistic nonfiction – where structural thinking and tonal precision are central to the brief. My approach is careful rather than heavy-handed. I’m attentive to rhythm, register, and nuance, and I'm especially experienced with writing that carries personal, political, or cultural weight – memoir, narrative nonfiction, research-informed work – where a heavy editorial hand does more damage than good. Services Editing & Proofreading • Line and copy editing for clarity, coherence, and tone • Stylistic editing with close attention to voice and register • Proofreading of near-final or publication-ready texts • Developmental feedback and structural editing for manuscripts at an earlier stage Writing & Content Development • Educational and learning-focused content • Short fiction for young readers • Reflective nonfiction, essays, and commentary Background • MA in Literary Studies (University of Glasgow) • Professional editorial training with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) • Nearly two decades of senior leadership experience, including final editorial responsibility for high-level client and operational documentation I value accuracy, restraint, and good judgement. If you’re looking for an editor who works carefully with language – rather than over it – I’m happy to discuss whether your project would be a good fit.

I am a native English speaker and former college teacher from the U.S. I worked at the University of Chicago Press and edited a peer-reviewed academic journal while teaching at Ohio State University. I have edited 80 or more books and papers for publication. I also typeset and format epubs and Kindle documents: everything that you need to publish your work. I speak Spanish and can translate from Spanish to English and vice versa. I also read French, German, Portuguese, Latin, Italian, Greek (ancient), and Hebrew (ancient). I have helped authors whose native language is not English publish their work in English. I do not use AI, and I do not edit AI work.

For the past seven years, I've worked with researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, businesses, government organisations, startups, and authors to produce high-quality written content. My experience includes editing and proofreading journal manuscripts, dissertations, theses, systematic reviews, literature reviews, grant applications, medical device documentation, regulatory documents, capability statements, government tenders, business proposals, technical reports, books, KDP manuscripts, nonfiction publications, website content, blog articles, SEO content, white papers, policy documents, training materials, and professional correspondence. As a published author in peer-reviewed journals and a PhD researcher in Medical Sciences, I understand the level of accuracy, clarity, and attention to detail expected in academic, scientific, and medical writing. I have experience working with medical literature, clinical research documents, medical device submissions, scientific manuscripts, healthcare content, genetics, public health, and evidence-based research, while also editing commercial and business documents where readability and professionalism are equally important. My editing goes beyond correcting grammar and punctuation. I improve structure, strengthen flow, refine language, eliminate inconsistencies, fact-check where appropriate, format references, and ensure every document communicates its message effectively while preserving your voice. I work confidently with APA, MLA, Harvard, Vancouver, and Chicago referencing styles, as well as both British and American English. Whether your project involves academic editing, medical writing, scientific research, book editing, Amazon KDP publishing, developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, formatting, or publication preparation, my goal is to deliver work that is clear, accurate, polished, and ready for submission, publication, or presentation. In addition to editing and proofreading, I can assist with Microsoft Word formatting, tracked changes, reference management, tables and figures, document layout, Canva designs, Adobe Acrobat PDF editing, presentation formatting, and publication-ready files for journals, conferences, and Amazon KDP. I pride myself on responsive communication, fast turnaround times, and consistently delivering work that exceeds expectations. If you're looking for someone who can confidently handle everything from a single-page business proposal to a 100,000-word manuscript or a complex medical research project, I'd love to discuss how I can help. Looking forward to working with you. Best, Arshi Editor | Proofreader | Medical Researcher | Academic Writing | Business Writing | SEO Articles
