Editor Profile

Aarin Shapiro

Profile

For more than 8 years, I have provided English-language editing and copywriting services to Master’s and PhD-level students for academic works, such as theses, articles, book prospectuses, and scholarship or fellowship applications. I bring additional value to scholars in the fields of international development, environmental studies, anthropology, sociology, and heritage where I can also contribute analytic feedback. I particularly enjoy working with authors whose first language is not English (especially Spanish). I offer
structural/developmental editing, stylistic editing, copy editing, and proofreading. Many of the materials I have edited have been submitted to some of the top universities and publishers around the world including the 
Geneva Graduate Institute, University of Lausanne, University of Arizona, Columbia University, University of Oxford, Yale University Press, U.S. Fulbright Commission, Routledge, and MIT Press. Beyond academic editing, I am also available for personal and professional projects, such as revising artist biographies or corporate communications materials. Please visit my website
