About
Academic writing at its best can be stimulating and eloquent, but it can also become tedious and awkward. I can help in streamlining the text, making sure its ideas follow each other clearly, and that the writing style flows easily. As an academic copy-editor, my aim is to free the text of all obstacles to easy comprehension and enjoyable reading.

Examples of my Work
In editing academic writing, it is important to me to understand the underlying focus of a piece in order to emphasize the most important details, and to make sure its argument does not get bogged down or confused. Below are excerpts of my recently edited work (reproduced with its authors' permission), followed by a piece of my own academic writing.
Ethics
Excerpt from edited essay in History and Anthropology
Asvaghosa
Excerpt from edited essay in Indian Studies
Naked Lunch
Essay in Literature, written by myself, which won a "high commendation" in the International Undergraduate Awards competition
