The UCL Review Society: Copy Editor

I am an MA Publishing student specifically training to become an editor/copy-editor for academic publications, especially academic journals (of all disciplines). I am already gaining experience by editing for Delilah Mag (music) and Kinesis (science)—I am even more excited to support the academic achievements of my soon-to-be-published peers! I am committed to the field of editing and thus willing to put a lot of effort and research into my work for the Review, as I am eager to hone my skills and become industry-ready.

I studied philosophy for my undergraduate degree, which equipped me with a sharp attention to detail and wording, key qualities for an aspiring copy-editor. In philosophy, every term, every phrasing counts: choosing and defining the correct terminology can make or break an argument. This made me especially attuned to nuances in vocabulary, spelling and overall structure. I have fast and accurate reading skills, as well as a clear and rigorous writing style which allows me to vulgarize complex notions and adapt to all audiences. In editing, it matters to be excited to work with a variety of subjects, to identify key points and problems within them, and make them resonate to their full potential.

I hope you will trust me to be a carefully analytical hand, capable of bringing out the best possible version of your paper!
