About the editor
I got my first degree at Trinity College Dublin, in Ireland, where I studied physics. I had so much fun there that I decided to do it again, and I went to the University of Warwick in the UK to study mathematics. But I’ve always been interested in a much wider range of topics, which might explain why the narrow road of academic specialization didn’t really appeal to me in the end. I’m interested in science (physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, genetics, medicine) as well as humanities (history, literature, poetry, languages, classical music and its development, religions), and also more everyday matters (business, technology, law, politics, cooking, music…). Languages and linguistics are of special interest (besides English, I speak Polish, and I plan to learn many more). I’ve lived in four countries and intend to travel further.
I’ve a quick and analytical mind, and I’ve been immersed in literature of all kinds since my earliest years. I have a natural feeling for the flow of well-written text, as well as an accurate sense of what’s right and wrong in writing, and the skill of quickly adjusting the words on the page to clarify what the author wants to say, with the minimum of wasted words.
My experience
The bulk of my experience over the last five years has been with editing scientific and technical articles and books, including a number of multi-author volumes. The subjects of some recently edited works include:
| Electronic engineering | Sociology of migration | Paleozoology |
| Veterinary medicine | Molecular genetics | Biogerontology |
| Stratigraphy | Paleoclimate studies | Archeology |
| Urban sociology | Software engineering | Skills flows and brain drain |
| Organizational psychology | Linguistics | English lexicography |
| Dialectology | Literature studies | Italian literature |
| English literature | LGBT studies | Political science |
| Politics of religion | Philosophy of law | Philosophy of religion |
| Molecular nutrition | Genomics | Theory of financial investment |
| Circuit design |
… as well as many projects of other kinds—like advertising copy, marketing material, personal documents such as CVs, tourism information, medical reports, business plans, and grant proposals.
I work full time as an editor, and so I can offer a quick turnaround. I’ve never missed a deadline, and I’ve never had a dissatisfied client.
