Hire Dr. Judith R.

Profile Summary

A PhD in Russian literature, I taught at liberal arts colleges for 7 years before becoming a freelance copyeditor. For the past 8 years I have specialized in editing academic prose, working on a wide range of manuscripts in the humanities and social sciences for university presses, academic journals, and academic clients. My knowledge of several languages (Russian, German, and French) and my understanding of the publication process from the inside and outside have served me well in seeing clients through the process of producing clean, well-argued, and successful publications. I also have a strong track record of helping clients create polished, impressive application materials that have helped many of them to land great jobs or coveted spots in top PhD programs. I have a thorough knowledge of Chicago and APA style, Merriam Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary; I am also well-versed in MLA and other style books.
