Music engraving

Joanna is experienced with Finale music notation software and can help to prepare musical examples.​

Citation editing

We are experienced in delving into the details, checking every item in your bibliography, resolving discrepancies between footnotes and bibliographic entries, and finding the most current, reliable, and convincing sources. We are familiar with APA, MLA, Turabian, and Chicago citation styles. We can format your document with any of these styles or tailor it to your institution’s format.

​

Indexing

We will work with you to determine how detailed you would like your index to be. Although we use index programs in word processors to assist us in the initial stage, there is no better way to create an index than to know the document thoroughly, and peruse it methodically on a page-by-page basis for names, places, terms, and concepts.
​

Proofreading

We can make sure your writing adheres to the five C’s of proofreading and copy-editing: “clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent.”
