Academic Editing Services

  • Real-Time Editing Sessions

    Schedule a 30-minute live editing session to have a conversation about any materials you’re working on. Ask an editor questions in real time about style, argument, or next steps. Online calendar coming soon; for now, email epilogueediting@gmail.com to set up an appointment.

  • Developmental Editing

    This service offers a close reading of the manuscript. In addition to the manuscript critique, the author will receive a detailed revision memo suggesting changes to the manuscript.

    This is the level of edits that will help you get a book in shape to send to publishers, or an article developed and sent out to journal editors.

    For a book-length manuscript, the developmental memo will be 25-30 pages of detailed, chapter-level feedback.

  • Style Editing

    This service is for authors who want to improve the readability of their manuscript. The author will receive line-level edits focused on sentence structure, style, and narrative. This service is often paired with a developmental edit.

  • Grants and Fellowships

    This service is for authors applying for prestigious fellowships in the social sciences and humanities. We’ve helped authors secure funding from the NSF, NIH, Fulbright, and a variety of other award agencies.
