I can provide support for different kinds of style and citation formats, including Chicago, MLA and APA. If you are an academic who uses LaTex (e.g., via OverLeaf), I am happy to accommodate you.
Journalists and Photojournalists
I collaborate with individuals who work in the media industry, whether as journalists or photojournalists. I provide support particularly for more complex projects or those that are outside your areas of experience (grant applications!). Depending on your needs, I can work with different kinds of styles and citation formats, and I excel at cutting words.
