Issues of Diversity and Non-Native English Authors
Dissertation completion and peer-reviewed manuscript publication play an essential role in academia in terms of career possibilities, visible topics of inquiry, the generation of new knowledge, and institutional representation. In so doing, they advance (one hopes) wider contributions to positive social change.
Parasol Academic Editing takes pride in serving the unique challenges faced by members of groups long under-represented in the academy. We draw on our direct cultural experience and linguistic expertise in such service, including service to non-native English speaking and internationally-engaged clients, among others.
Local and Global
From San Francisco to Boston and beyond, services are provided to a national and international set of clients. From the San Francisco Bay Area, with its fine host of colleges and universities, to the historic Five-College Area of Western Massachusetts (95 miles west of Boston/Cambridge, and home to Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst), and beyond to anywhere else in world, we can stay in touch. We do so as a project demands, and making flexible use of various options for communication and payment.
Personalized Service
Parasol Academic Editing takes pride in providing personalized service. We will work together to develop a professional, trusting, and productive relationship.
