James Warren

An experienced editor passionate about assisting humanities and social science authors clearly articulate their ideas. I’m a Burnaby-based academic editor, indexer, writer, and researcher who can help you bring clarity, structure, and energy to your book, article, conference paper, dissertation, thesis, and job or graduate school application materials.  

I hold an MA in history from the University of Calgary (2001) and pursued my PhD studies in British imperial history at the University of Illinois, with a research focus on gender and politics in Canada, New Zealand, and South Asia. 

As a managing editor for the Journal of Women’s History (2006-2007; 2009-2010), a book review editorial assistant for Politics & Gender (2016-2017), and a freelance editor since 2010, I’ve been fortunate to work with authors from across the humanities and social sciences, including authors located in history, gender and women’s studies, politics, sociology, anthropology, literature, health studies, geography, Asian studies, African studies, Jewish studies, and ethnic studies. In addition to editing books, articles, and dissertations, I also copy edit a range of academic journals, including the Journal of Sport History, the Journal of Olympic Studies, Mormon Studies Review, Music & the Moving Image, the Italian American Review, and the Journal of Finnish Studies.
