How experienced is the editor behind Carrie On Editing?

Armed with a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Social Work with over 15 years of clinical experience, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Behavioral Health, I bring unmatched depth and versatility to academic editing. For more than 15 years, I’ve led teams, shaped programs, and mastered the art of turning complex ideas into compelling narratives. My higher education journey demanded writing at the most rigorous levels—thousands of pages of research, analysis, and defense—giving me not just technical expertise, but an editor’s instinct for clarity, flow, and precision. I don’t just correct mistakes; I elevate your work into a polished, defense-ready masterpiece.

How does the editing process improve my academic writing?

Editing turns a draft into a clear, credible, and submission-ready paper. By moving from big-picture issues to fine detail, it strengthens your argument, improves readability, and ensures your work meets scholarly standards.

• Clarity & structure: Refines your thesis, organization, and headings so ideas build logically.
• Argument strength: Identifies gaps, tightens claims, and aligns evidence with research questions.
• Flow & coherence: Improves transitions, topic sentences, and paragraph unity for smooth reading.
• Precision & concision: Cuts redundancy, vague wording, and filler while preserving your voice.
• Discipline standards: Aligns tone, methods reporting, tables/figures, and terminology with your field.
• Source integrity: Fixes citation placement, integrates quotes/paraphrases, and applies APA/MLA/Chicago consistently.
• Readability: Calibrates sentence length, active vs. passive voice, and formatting for accessibility.
• Polish & correctness: Removes grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors that distract reviewers.

Typical stages: developmental editing (ideas/structure) → line editing (clarity/style) → copyediting (grammar/citations) → proofreading (final checks).
