Academic, Technical, Nonfiction, and Business Editing and Proofreading

Clarity-first editing: I help your readers see your message. Human-only editing: I will not use generative AI for any part of your project, and I will not submit your document to any generative AI tool. This includes ChatGPT, Grammarly, Uma, Gemini, Copilot, and similar tools. "Wes is the editor you want for your scientific paper: He's thoughtful, diligent, and quick. He caught unclear areas of our paper which the reviewers missed. I highly recommend him." - researcher in medicine and machine learning I edit academic and technical material as well as nonfiction books and business documents of all kinds. Specialty areas include computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, economics, finance, and related fields. For my current rates and what to expect during the process, please see the portfolio item “Rates and What to Expect”. I have been writing and editing technical and business material for about forty years. I will apply this experience to your project to help ensure your words are presented in the best light. "Wes is brilliant! He edited my work fast and with great care. And these are two things that don't come together often. He is also very pleasant to work with." - political scientist For those who are considering inviting me to bid on your job: First, thank you! I appreciate invites and accept many of them. Please be aware that I am unable to offer same-day delivery and often schedule several weeks in advance. Advance planning is helpful to reserve a spot on my calendar. I primarily work in these formats and programs: Word, LaTeX (using Overleaf/ShareLaTeX), PDF, InDesign, PowerPoint, and Google Slides. "Always great working with Wes.
