Let's face it...academic jobs keep getting more demanding.

You have students to teach. Grant proposals to write. Faculty meetings to attend. Projects to administer. Emails to answer. Social media accounts to update. And even, in the occasional free minute, research to get done.

Let me help you improve your writing and make more of an impact with your research.

My main focus is editing and proofreading manuscripts. I provide a comprehensive edit that covers structure, language, and style. Once you receive the edited text, I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

My rates are as follows:

First 5,000 words: $149
Each subsequent 1,000 words: $30

Footnote-checking is available for an additional fee, as is a video conference to discuss the suggested changes.
Expedited service is discretionary and is associated with a surcharge.

I am also happy to consider other projects, including support with teaching responsibilities or the daily deluge of administrative tasks. Rates for these tasks are agreed on a case-by-case basis.

Hi, I'm Ellen!

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to make a difference in the world. After discovering the world of Russian and Eurasian Studies, I found my niche: supporting professors and researchers.

For the past 5 years, I've been helping authors in the field polish their writing for publication in books, journals, and blog posts. I've also handled every part of the journal publication process, from submission to publication. Along the way, I've helped revamp university courses, designed newsletters, and handled myriad administrative tasks for institutional and freelance clients.

As a graduate of the University of Cambridge (BA), the European University at St. Petersburg (IMARES), and the George Washington University (MIS), you can be confident that I have the skills and specialized knowledge of the field necessary to do the work—and do it extremely well.
