Jill W.
Historical Researcher and Editor
Extensive experience in academic writing, research, and editing, both on ancient Egypt and various other historical topics. PhD in Egyptian Art and Archaeology. Particular experience in editing the work of non-native English speakers to conform to professional standards and editing work to fit publisher standards, both for journal articles and full books. Knowledge of ancient cultures and history provides excellent fuel for fiction writing projects as well as nonfiction. Will research, draft, and edit historical fiction. Ability to read and translate all versions of ancient Egyptian languages, including create new texts consistent with historical contexts for fictional or personal use. Moderate proficiency in French and German. Cataloging experience for libraries and museums for over a decade in a wide range of objects from ancient Egyptian artifacts through more modern objects. 10+ years of experience with GIS technology, including teaching others to use it, particularly ArcGIS products. Note: Not willing to write school assignments (That is plagiarism and cheating.) I also prefer to work with human-created materials and do not edit AI generated slop.
