Professional Editing for Academics, Authors, and Storytellers

As an editor and writer, I bring clarity, consistency, and care to your words. From academic work to personal narratives, I tailor my services to your voice and goals.

Jayson MacLean, PhD

I work with academics to help them deliver clear, concise, and persuasive arguments and ideas. Digging into the logical structure of a paper, chapter, or thesis is my favourite thing to do.

I also work with writers of all sorts to help them tell their stories. I’m a very good listener and communicator, and I love applying my skills in support of their projects. I consider it a great honour to do so.

Jayson reviewed our last SSHRC application with such care and professionalism. More than flagging problems, he makes wonderful edits and suggestions in line with the competition criteria. I felt much more confident we would get this grant after his editing.
