I turn early-stage drafts and transcripts into clear, publication-ready manuscripts. • I work with authors (including nonfiction and memoir), academics, and subject-matter experts to develop, organize, and refine complex material into writing that actually lands with readers. • My focus is developmental editing—diagnosing structural issues, strengthening argument flow, and shaping content for clarity, coherence, and impact. • Clients hire me when they need rigorous thinking, manuscript-level organization, and editorial direction—not just polished sentences. I'm often brought in when: • Early-stage drafts or transcripts require full manuscript development • Dense or technical material isn’t yet reader-ready • A project needs structure before it can be meaningfully edited Availability & Fit: • Currently accepting a limited number of well-scoped projects • Best fit: thoughtful, collaborative projects with realistic timelines and open communication • Response time: typically within 24–48 hours Fields I Work In: • Psychology & Psychoanalysis – Making complex theory readable without flattening it • Management, Entrepreneurship & Social Sciences – Bringing structure and clarity to proposals and research • Medical & Health Sciences – Translating technical material into accurate, readable prose • Theology & Philosophy – Structuring abstract, idea-driven arguments • Cultural Studies & Humanities – Clarifying dense conceptual and critical writing • Interdisciplinary & Applied Research – Bringing cross-field work into a coherent whole Why Work with Me: • Depth & Rigor – Comfortable working at a high level of complexity • Clarity & Care – Structural editing that improves thinking, not just wording • Ethical Practice – Your work stays yours; no ghostwriting • AI with Integrity – Used as a tool, not a substitute for judgment Experience: [Note: Selected client work and writing samples are included in the portfolio; Upwork history does not reflect the full scope of my background] • 10+ years Developmental Editing & Proofreading • 5+ years focused on developmental editing and structural work • Academic Editing, Advertising Copywriting, and Long-Form Blogging • Award-Winning Author, Florida Writers Association • Former Judge, FWA Royal Palm Literary Awards Selected Work as Kathryn Levison: • Lucy: Based on a True Story • Friday the 13th with Freud • Abreaction in Atlanta • Baby, Can I Bum a Cigarette?
