Editing is activism!
I have spent today (and indeed, much of this month) helping get peer-reviewed, evidence-based academic work out into the world because truth matters.

I love these types of questions from prospective authors. And if the editor you’re talking to hedges or avoids these questions? Maybe they’re not the right editor or press for you.

Random reminder! Proofreading fixes text; editing strengthens ideas.
Academics often ask for a proofread when they actually need an edit. Both have value, but purposes differ. The writing will benefit from an edit for clarity and coherence before it gets a proofread.

I just finished editing a 100,000 word manuscript on the Ottoman empire. I'm always surprised at the end of working on a manuscript about how I often feel sad. It's like I don't get to hang out with a friend anymore who I spent a lot of time and care on! #writers #academicediting #editing

Final copyediting pass of an academic article and reviewing final proofs for my own book (an edited collection). Potentially a sample edit for a prospective developmental editing client, if I’m given their manuscript!
