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.

“I know what I want to say, but it’s not coming out right.”

“I just need someone to guide me through the next steps.”
