Nonfiction and Academic Editing
Bringing structure and accessibility to complex ideas.
You know your subject. I know how to shape it for readers.
At Bold & Italic Editing, I work with authors, researchers, essayists, and VC firms to bring structure, clarity, and accessibility to high-stakes nonfiction. Whether you’re revising a manuscript, preparing a proposal, or refining a founder’s guide, I’ll help you say exactly what you mean, in your own voice.
Common pain points I solve:
“This feels messy, but I don’t know how to fix it.”
“I’m not sure the tone is right for my audience.”
“I know what I want to say, but it’s not coming out right.”
“It’s too dense / too dry / too repetitive.”
“I just need someone I can trust to make it better.”
Who I work with:
📘 Writers of expository nonfiction and essays, including commentary, collections, and reflective writing grounded in research or expertise
✏️ Scholars and researchers in the humanities and social sciences – especially education, history, philosophy, literary studies, linguistics, and research methods
💼 VC firms, founders, and content teams, particularly in fintech and venture capital, producing white papers, handbooks, and strategic content
