The skills I bring to editing were developed through a successful career as an academic economist spanning more than three decades. This included teaching economics and college level writing, reviews of books and book proposals, co-authored and independently authored research articles, technical reports, and peer-review of manuscripts submitted to a variety of academic journals. For a fuller description of my background, refer to my editing résumé or full academic CV.
