Editorial Support for Researchers, Academics, and Publishers
Writing a journal article, thesis, dissertation, or academic book manuscript?
I help researchers say what they mean clearly, precisely, and with the confidence their work deserves.
I'm Julie Pinborough, a UK-based academic copyeditor and freelance Managing Editor. I edit scholarly work for researchers and PhD candidates, and I also work within the peer-review process itself, supporting academic journals through platforms like ScholarOne and Editorial Manager. Seeing both sides of academic publishing means I know exactly what editors and reviewers are looking for, and where manuscripts usually run into trouble.
That might mean:
-
Thesis and dissertation editing for clarity, structure, and readability.
-
Journal manuscript editing, to get your work submission-ready
-
Copyediting, for consistency, accuracy, and polished academic English
Whatever stage your work is at, I'll give it the careful, professional attention it needs, suited to your subject and your reader.
I work with researchers, doctoral candidates, academics, and publishing organisations, all of whom care about clear writing and getting the details right.
Alongside my editorial work, I share practical advice for researchers and academics on my blog.
You focus on the research. I'll focus on the details.
