I'm currently looking for freelance editing work! I have experience doing everything from copyediting to substantive edits, mainly for academic texts but also for literary ones. I've worked extensively with non-native English-speakers, including editing literary translations.

every "sir" or "dame" or "lady" or "baron" is a reminder of the stubborn persistence of systems that immiserated millions of people for millennia, that continue to extract and hoard wealth now, and that peasants and laborers around the world gave their lives trying to overthrow. they deserve better.

Indigenous and campesino communities in Cuenca, Ecuador met with Canadian ambassador Craig Kowalik yesterday.
They delivered a clear message: NO Canada-Ecuador Free Trade Agreement, and NO to Canadian mining in the Kimsakocha páramo.
