Ateeb G.
Copyeditor, Proofreader, Book Indexer
Are you preparing an academic book, dissertation, or journal article for publication and are concerned about clarity, structure, or reviewer feedback? Are you publishing an academic book and the press has asked you to make the index in short time and using specific methods (such as MS Word's feature and para-IDs)? I help researchers, academics, and doctoral students present their work clearly and persuasively, so that it stands up to peer review and minimizes avoidable revisions. I am also a highly-experienced indexer and have made detailed indices for several academic books. I specialize in: - Copyediting academic books and journal articles (improving clarity, flow, and structure) - Ensuring accurate referencing and formatting in line with established citation styles - Preparing professional indexes for academic books My work has contributed to publications with leading academic presses, including Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Stanford University Press, Syracuse University Press, Brill, and Routledge. I hold an MA (Editorial Studies) and PhD (Religion) from Boston University and have worked as an editor with Oxford University Press for three years. If you need precise, careful academic editing aligned with top-tier publishing standards, I’d be glad to help.
