Joshua Wardrip
@joshuawardrip
Freelance academic editor specializing in ESL revision and AI-assisted manuscript quality improvement.
What I'm looking for
I’m a freelance editor focused on publication support, with deep knowledge of English usage and native English expression. I specialize in revising writing by ESL authors and tailoring edits to clear, accurate communication.
Since 2013, I’ve provided academic (and occasionally nonacademic) editing across the full range from basic proofreading to in-depth content editing. I evaluate and provide feedback on the quality and accuracy of AI-edited manuscripts, helping clients strengthen both clarity and correctness.
My work extends beyond editing into journal selection, cover letter creation, journal formatting, and quality reviews of other editors’ work. I consistently maintain high ratings for quality, deadline conformance, and client satisfaction, and I’m recognized as a top editor by my employers in economics and related fields.
I’m also committed to continued growth, including emerging AI-based services. Right now, I’m pursuing additional freelance opportunities that broaden my overall expertise in publication support while applying rigorous editorial standards to every assignment.
