ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACADEMIC COPY EDITING:
Journal Articles, Books, Dissertations

My name is Merrie Bergmann.  I'm a retired college professor and a published author. I have academic degrees in philosophy, mathematics, and computer science, so I can edit manuscripts from both the humanities and the sciences. Because I love language, my academic editing is meticulous! I will work with you until you’re satisfied with the result – a polished document that presents your material clearly and professionally.

As your academic copy editor, I will

• proofread for spelling typos and punctuation errors, and correct grammatical and word usage errors
• reword sentences for clarity and conciseness, eliminate repetition, and ensure that you have a consistent style
• suggest reorganization when it will improve the flow of your ideas
• check formatting to make sure that your document looks clean and neat
• check that your document conforms to the relevant style manual.

Because I am an experienced professor and researcher, I will pay close attention to your content and will make suggestions for improving and strengthening your presentation. My Editing Services page has a complete description of how I edit and what is included.

** I welcome ESL/EFL projects. **
