John Acker Editing & Consulting

About

I'm a professional nonfiction editor specializing in academic and business documents, especially journal articles, book and dissertation chapters, application essays/personal statements, resumes, cover letters, and technical reports. I also offer consulting services for job applications, college and graduate school admissions, and academic project planning. Most of my clients speak English as a second or third language, and they come from a very wide range of linguistic, cultural, academic, and professional backgrounds.

Because I’ve edited complex documents representing dozens of disciplines and industries, I can understand and improve a wide array of technical arguments, with particular expertise in social science, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and the humanities. To supplement my edits I can also offer practical feedback as an educated non-specialist, especially on documents targeting a mix of expert and non-expert readers. For more information on my editing and consulting services, please visit my website (ackeredit.com) or email me at j•••••@••••.com. I look forward to working with you!
