Editing

I'm currently senior acquisitions editor for philosophy and political theory at Harvard University Press.

I have also worked as senior acquisitions editor at Northwestern University Press, where I acquired and developed around thirty books each year in philosophy and literary studies, and at the University of Chicago Press, where I was responsible for copyediting book manuscripts and helping shepherd books through the publication process as an editorial associate in the manuscript editing department. And before my work in publishing, I earned a PhD in philosophy at the University of Leuven in Belgium and taught graduate and undergraduate philosophy courses at the University of Leuven and Loyola University Chicago.

While working as a freelance editor between my other jobs in publishing, I've developmentally edited book manuscripts in disciplines such as anthropology, art history, history, and literary studies that have been published by presses such as Bloomsbury, Fordham University Press, Princeton University Press, Stanford University Press, and the University of Chicago Press. And I've copyedited book manuscripts in disciplines such as classics, critical theory, history, literary studies, and philosophy for presses such as Harvard University Press, Haymarket Books, Princeton University Press, and the University of Chicago Press.

Throughout my career in publishing, I've been committed to demystifying the academic publishing process. I served as a member of the Association of University Presses Faculty Outreach Committee and helped develop and launch AskUP,  a dynamic resource aimed to shed light on every stage of the academic publishing process. I've given presentations about the publishing process at the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA), the German Studies Association (GSA), the Modern Language Association (MLA), the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), UCLA, the City University of New York (CUNY), Loyola University Chicago, Northwestern University, the University of Toronto, and more. And I have taught courses on the peer-review process for the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP).
