I will work with you to build a dramatically fulfilling work, be it a one act or a full length play. This work can include research, copyediting, and regular meetings to your schedule and need!

For a writer in the final steps before submitting for publication, I’ll do an in depth look for any grammar, syntax, or communication errors that may have slipped through. I have experience with the Chicago Manual of Style and the Modern Language Association Manual of Style.

I work with you from an early draft to help hone your writing, develop your argument, and fill in any gaps in your examples. I have experience with the Chicago Manual of Style and the Modern Language Association Manual of Style. This service may also include proofreading the final draft before sending it back.

Working on a book and need an index for your publisher? I can work with you to create your list of indexed terms and then compile the references into a single document for your publisher.

TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Alex freed me up to focus more on articulating my ideas and argument rather than worrying about producing flawless prose… I got the sense that Alex engaged with the actual content of the work rather than just looking for mistakes. He asked follow-up questions and made suggestions that aligned with the overall argument of the work. Ultimately, Alex’s feedback significantly improved my manuscript—not only basic grammatical errors but also improvements to the flow and clarity of the prose.” -Patrick Chung, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland
