Hi! My name is Antonio, and I am open to helping academics edit their writings in the social and political sciences. I am also happy to design professional websites for academics from any field.
My editing philosophy is quite uncomplicated: to stay faithful to your own voice and style as an academic while making your writing crisp and camera-ready.
I have edited over 500,000 words as a PhD researcher and build on extensive experience in preparing and revising scholarly, business and non-academic manuscripts for publication.
Texts I am happy to edit for you1 include but are not limited to:
- Doctoral dissertations
- Journal articles
- Special issues
- Book chapters
- Monographs
- Edited collections
- Essays
Depending on your specific needs, commissions can be customised to cover line editing, copy editing, and/or proofreading.2 In all cases, I would deliver the following:
- 1-hour online consultation to discuss your editorial requirements
- Your manuscript with my comments and suggested edits in tracked changes
- A ‘clean’ edited version of your manuscript
- Detailed written feedback (plus a style sheet in case you’d like to work further on your text)
- 1-hour online feedback session (for larger commissions, more feedback sessions may be organised)
Standard rates start from €10 per page.3 Turnaround time is negotiable.
Aside from editing, I accept commissions from academics looking to make their own websites.
Although negotiable, rates can start from €300 per project (inclusive of basic web hosting, registering your chosen domain name, and website upkeep for one year).
To discuss more, book a free-of-charge and no-commitments consultation with me at antonio@antonioalcazar.eu!

- From an editorial point of view, these tasks all share the aim of honing the overall writerly or scholarly quality of a given text. However, they have different foci in doing so. See here and here for a discussion. ↩︎
