Profile
anne.curry@eastlink.ca
I specialize in editing theses, dissertations, and other academic documents in the arts and social sciences. I am most familiar with APA style (but regularly use others). As well, I can rephrase in standard English, match up references and citations, reduce word count, format the document, and carry out other tasks that you require.
I edit non-fiction of all sorts and lengths, from a cover letter for a job application to a research anthology.
Knowledge and experience
My background is in education, second language (learning, teaching, and administration), and teacher education. I have a strong interest in history and other social sciences. I speak and write French well, and I have some knowledge of German and Thai.
I have carried out research with colleagues, advised thesis and project students, and instructed courses in educational research for Master of Education students.
Writing for academic credit?
If you are submitting the document for academic credit, your professor/supervisor/advisor must specify what tasks I can perform. Please see Guidelines for Ethical Editing of Student Texts
No surprises!
After you send me your document, I will do a short sample edit and provide a firm quote for the project. The final fee may be lower than the quote (occasionally) but will never be higher.
