Hi! My name is Ellie Andrews and I’m a freelance editor based near Ithaca, NY. I specialize in editing scholarly writing (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and dissertations). I work with both native and non-native English speakers from lots of disciplines, including architectural history, anthropology, management, natural resources, physics, and sociology. I also regularly edit articles for an online publication of the AAAS.
I can help you convey your ideas with elegance and clarity. That might mean addressing big-picture stuff, like organizing your ideas more logically or helping you construct a narrative so that you’re telling a memorable story and not just giving a report. (Scientists tell stories, too!) I can also help with the little things, like getting your citations right or cutting out fluff, so that every word and phrase and sentence in your piece is doing work for you. I typically suggest lots of changes and make lots of comments, erring on the side of being too thorough rather than not thorough enough.
I have tutored and taught through Cornell University's Knight Writing Institute for several years. Cornell is also where I earned my doctorate (in Development Sociology). My research is on environmental politics and I’ve published articles on beekeeping and natural gas development (fracking). I write for scholarly audiences as well as the general public and am currently working on an article about Americans' uneven vulnerability to COVID-19. See my CV for more information about my teaching and research.
