Project details

I have a masters degree in philosophy and 9 years of editing experience in academic publishing. I am also currently a copy editor of an international open-access philosophy journal. I help clients improve their English manuscripts before submission to a journal, conference, or thesis committee. As a native English speaker and a budding academic myself, I enjoy reading research manuscripts on different topics from various nationalities and help them communicate effectively their aims, findings, and insights to a wider academic community. I love working with SERIOUS researchers.

For this project, you will get a professionally edited research article that you intend to submit for publication.

I advocate for mindful research and resist the fast culture in academia. When you place an order, you will not simply get a hurriedly edited manuscript. Rather, when you work with me, we will have a more personal author-editor relationship (some past clients have appreciated my editing as like coaching).

If you want to work with me, please book this project now.

Transcribe audio recordings (in English) Sorry we didn't go ahead with this. Our interaction with Julia was promising setting this up and I would recommend her on that basis.

Accurate, Fast and Experienced Transcriptionist Needed Julia is a fantastic transcriptionist! Not only did she do the work in a very timely manner (even when we were delayed and gave her short notice), she also skillfully fixed spoken grammatical errors. If she is not certain of a spoken word, she will call it out and highlight the exact time in the video where it occurred so it is very easy to find & fix. (This was rare.) Thank you Julia for your fantastic work and I look forward to hiring you for future transcription projects!

Are you feeling lost and overwhelmed by your messy drafts for your non-fiction book manuscript?
Are you unsure about the grammar, style, and coherence of your web copies and content?

Are you seeking an experienced editor who can help organize the chapters or sections of your non-fiction manuscript?
Are you seeking an experienced proofreader to check the quality of your text before printing it or publishing it online?

Are you an aspiring author dreaming to share your story or expertise with your readers?
Are you a coach, consultant, or business owner aspiring to connect and make an impact to your audience?

If you answered “YES” to at least two of those questions, then I can help you out!

Hello, I am Julia. I help authors and businesses improve their manuscripts and content through meticulous editing and proofreading.

Here are three reasons why I’m the English editor who can help make your text better:

1. I’m a professional editor who has worked with different kinds of writers.

I have over 10 years of experience in academic and textbook publishing. I am currently one of the Style and Copy Editors of an international, open-access journal of philosophy. I also previously worked as an Edit Reviewer at Editage/Cactus Communications, one of the largest academic editing companies in the world. Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in meticulously refining manuscripts for clarity, coherence, and content quality.

In addition to my solid background in academic publishing, I also have experience in providing quality editing services as a freelance editor. My stint as a freelance editor proofreading documents for an international non-profit, an entire newsletter series for a life coach, blogs and website content for business owners, and human-generated texts for an AI-training company provided me with valuable experience in assisting individual clients and businesses in ensuring quality and originality of written outputs.

2. I am an independent researcher who has a knack for constructive feedback and fact-checking.

I have a master’s degree in philosophy, and I am currently writing on feminism and animal ethics. My background in research has helped me develop skills in fact-checking and critical thinking. I will not let factual inaccuracies in your text pass; I will flag them and help you address such issues.

Moreover, my experience working with authors from various backgrounds, nationalities, and fields has enabled me to become conscious, critical, and creative. As a writer myself, I will help you find your voice and appreciate writing as a transformative process.

3. I care about your work.

I know your work is important to you, and that is why I always offer a safe space for my clients. Rest assured that our correspondence and your manuscript, draft, text, or content will be treated as confidential. I respect your privacy, and I will never share your work with other people. I will never share your work in my portfolio without your consent. (This is the reason why I don’t have sample finished edits in my portfolio despite having edited hundreds of texts over time.)

If you’re now wondering how exactly I can help you, then here are some of my services:
✔️ Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors in your document
✔️ Ensure that your manuscript uses ethical/conscious language and adheres to the required formatting and reference style and/or guidelines of your target submission (e.g., APA, Chicago)
✔️ Give feedback on specific chapters, sections, or parts
✔️ Comment on improving structure, enhancing coherence, and fortifying statements
✔️ Offer actionable guidelines in improving sections or chapters

So if you're looking for an experienced editor and proofreader for your:
📖 Non-fiction book manuscript (e.g., self-help book, memoir, biography, educational book, textbook, cook book, etc.)
📧 Web content (blog posts, articles, newsletter, website texts)
📰 Publication materials (magazines, brochures, pamphlets)
📑 Technical documents (reports, memos, letters, instructions, handbooks, manuals, proposals, etc.)

I'm here to support you. Let me help you polish your manuscript or content!
