Editing

It’s a bit harder to demonstrate my editing skills in a portfolio. However, you can check out the finished product of an academic article I played a major role in editing recently:

• The impact of applied project‑based learning on undergraduate student development

For a glimpse of my line-by-line edits on a graduate student’s academic paper, see the following:

• Line editing sample

I’ve also had the pleasure of working on novels, such as the following:

• No Small Thing by Mary Silva
• The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word by Pamela Dehnke
• Upon Further Examination by Pamela Dehnke

As another example, I had the honor of collaborating with Tyson Brown, a professor and population health scholar, on content for his website. As part of my work on this site, I compressed some of Dr. Brown’s journal articles into bite-sized summaries digestible by a non-expert audience.
