Developmental Editing
I work with you on the "big picture" of your draft publication.
Key aspects that we will work through are: Does it flow? What is the overall point/message? Is the tone correct for the target audience? Does the structure support the narrative?
This is a wholly collaborative and immersive exercise. It comes before any kind of editing and/or proofreading.

ABOUT ME
I am an academic (discipline: urban geography) with a keen eye for detail and an abiding interest to help writers (at whatever level and for whatever purpose) be the very best version of their "writing selves."
I have been involved in editing for over a decade helping academics, postgraduate students, potential project leaders, and organisation units and departments craft their best journal articles, theses and dissertations, funding proposals, and annual reports.
I have been engaged on a range of different topic areas, including nutrition, geology, geomorphology, economics, teaching and learning, and curriculum studies, among others.
I particularly welcome and enjoy working on material not in my discipline; a non-expert is often your best editor (they can read your material in a way that very quickly highlights jumps in logic and flow).
