Writing and Editing Services

$50/hr baseline, though I will be willing to offer slightly lower rates for well-organized projects.

I will edit your work for you, or ghost write your proposal or presentation.

I have ghost-written material for many purposes including business plans, government pitches, and medical presentations.  

Pitch decks and presentation coaching are available upon request.  I also have experience with spreadsheets, video editing, and website design if your project requires those kinds of integrations.  

Please be prepared to provide reference material so I can work to your tastes: as you can see, my design sensibility is minimalist, but yours doesn't have to be.

I also have experience editing creative work.  Poetry and fiction that I have edited has appeared in award-winning literary journals and popular platforms.  

As creative writing projects can be sensitive affairs and of wildly varied quality, I must emphasize that I will discriminate.  For new creative clients I will insist on a project precis and writing sample before agreeing to any commitment.  A statement of your expectations from your editor will also help.  For large projects I will insist on an advance.

I have a PhD in English Literature from the University of Ottawa, with a specialization in seventeenth-century political poetry.  I approach my subject matter as a historicist, and my research interests include religious controversy, early-modern views of the classical world, and representations of warfare, though I find little time to actively research.

I have been teaching post-secondary courses since 2013, and my experience in assistant roles goes back to 2006.  In addition to introductory literature surveys, science fiction, Shakespeare, early-modern drama, and others lit courses, my teaching experience includes over 50 sections of composition or communications courses at multiple institutions and for disciplines such as general humanities, business, environmental stewardship, and engineering.  Moreover, I have done editing work for professional and peer-reviewed projects in history, philosophy, medicine and hard sciences.

The academic proposals that I have written, edited, or otherwise contributed to have secured several hundred thousand dollars of funding.
