Book Proposals and Publishing Support: <\/strong>As a former acquisitions editor for both trade and academic presses, I can help you understand what editors are truly looking for in a proposal – and what you should be looking for in a publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developmental Editing:<\/strong> If you’re struggling to organize your book chapters, need help working through revise-and-resubmit feedback, or want to turn your PhD thesis into a monograph, I can help you get your publishing plans back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copy Editing and Line Editing: <\/strong>If you need help to make your writing clear, compelling, and accessible, I can provide sentence-level editing that allows your core argument to shine through.

About me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>
\n

I got my start as an editor at the indie magazine LiP: Informed Revolt<\/em><\/a> in 2005. From 2007 until 2025, I primarily worked within the book-publishing industry, including roles at North Atlantic Books<\/a>, Palgrave Macmillan<\/a>, Pelagic Publishing<\/a>, and Parallax<\/a>, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bring strong ethical values to my work and am attentive to issues of unconscious bias and potentially exclusionary language. I provide careful, kind, and constructive feedback to authors, and I have extensive experience working with first-time authors and writers who do not have English as a first language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of my work as an editor, I have a passion for cinema and film history; I received my PhD in film studies from Northumbria University in 2022. (To find out more about my work as an independent scholar and film programmer, see erinwiegand.com<\/a>.) In my spare time, I like to crochet, birdwatch, and go on bike adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in California, I now live in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

I am well versed in The Chicago Manual of Style<\/em>, APA style, and New Hart\u2019s Rules<\/em> (Oxford style), and I can easily adapt to other style systems. I have completed the Professional Sequence in Editing at UC Berkeley Extension, including advanced coursework in substantive editing, and I’ve received additional training in developmental editing for academics from Laura Portwood-Stacer<\/a>; I’m committed to ongoing professional development. I am a member of ACES: The Society for Editing<\/a> and an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
