Thulin English
Expert editing for academics
Services
Presentation matters. Even the best academic research can fail to get published or funded if it isn't clearly conveyed. For non-native English speakers, working with a native English-speaking editor is essential.
Kate Thulin has well over a decade of experience providing developmental and copy edits for academic research, including books published by Oxford University Press, articles published in the American Journal of Political Science, and successful grant applications to the European Research Council, among many others.
​
Kate specializes in political science, but accepts clients from all humanities and social sciences disciplines.
Academic Journal Articles
Journal articles receive a thorough copy edit, which focuses on nuance and clarity of argument in addition to grammar, spelling (US or UK English), and stylistic consistency. Edits are made to conform with the journal's style guide when requested.
Books & Book Chapters
Like journal articles, book manuscripts are edited for clarity of argument in addition to grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. Edits are made to adhere to the publisher's style guide and specifications. PhD dissertations (whether monographs or articles + summary report) are also included in this category.
Grant Applications
As research grants become increasingly competitive, having a persuasive proposal narrative is critical. Editing for grant applications includes standard language, grammar, and clarity assistance, but also helps researchers hone their "sales pitch." Edits and comments are made with close reference to the relevant call, and special attention is paid to structure, persuasiveness, and flow.
Your work is not only highly appreciated, but also incredible. I enjoy reading my revised text so much more than before, and continue to be impressed that you managed to preserve my voice or style but make me sound so much more precise.
