About Rosemary

My editing journey began 10 years ago.

After graduating from a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts and working in laboratories, I began working for the Integrative Model-based Cognitive Neuroscience (IMCN) Research Unit. Among other things, I edited and proofread their documents before submitting them for publication.

This led to an early edit of mine being published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience.

A typical desk set up for editing. Dictionary, style guide, document and style sheet open on the desktop.

After that, I was hooked.

I committed myself to perfecting my craft and producing highly polished, professional documents ready for publication.

I embarked on a Master’s of Publishing at the University of Sydney and began taking on clients.

While studying, I worked on as many different editing roles in the publishing industry and in academia as I could.

I worked in commercial publishing and educational publishing, as a research assistant and as a writing tutor at the university.

As well as being formally trained as part of my Master’s program, I took as many writing and editing courses as I could get my hands on.

After graduating, I was recruited by an elite editing company that specialised in academic copy, where I received personalised training to ensure that I met their high standard.

I have been working with clients from universities, publishing houses, individuals and professionals ever since.

In that time, I have edited over 100 theses, dissertations and exegeses, journal articles, research reports, grant applications, cover letters, textbooks, non-fiction books, monographs, white papers, manuals, policy documents and more.

The thing I love most about editing is transforming copy into beautiful, flowing arguments.

All academics have to write, but not all academics are natural writers. Helping them communicate their hard-earned knowledge effectively is a privilege and thrill.

  • Immaculate referencing
A blurry view of a typical screen an editor would see while working: two Microsoft Word document windows. One shows the Track Changes markup, the Navigation Pane, a comment, the Styles Pane and the Styles Inspector window. The second Microsoft Word window shows a blurry image of a style sheet.
