Editing and translating services for academic and non-fiction authors

Editing
I specialize in deep overhauls of academic books and articles. I often work with authors for whom English is a second language, smoothing out their prose while maintaining their voice. I have edited several full books and many articles, and have worked as a copy editor (e.g. for California Italian Studies).

Translation
I specialize in translation from Italian, but am very comfortable translating from Spanish, French, or German.
