Editing and copywriting for scholars, authors, and artists.

Developmental editing, line editing, and copywriting from a former college professor who has guided hundreds of writers from first draft to finished work.

How I can help

Developmental Editing

“My ideas are there, but the structure isn’t working.”

I assess the big picture: argument, organization, pacing, and audience. You get an editorial letter, margin notes, and a clear revision plan.

Line Editing

“The content is solid. The sentences aren’t there yet.”

I work line by line on clarity, flow, rhythm, and word choice, so your writing reads well and still sounds like you.

Hi, I’m Jameel

For six years I taught at Colorado College, where I guided student writers through senior theses, fellowship applications, and public talks, and edited everything from grant proposals to curriculum.

I’m a published scholar and grant writer who works in Chicago, APA, MLA, and AP style. I bring a teacher’s patience and an editor’s precision to every project, and I treat your manuscript as carefully as my own.
