Writing short is hard. I can help.

I work with academic researchers as they articulate their goals and accomplishments to an audience of their peers. Your work is important: if you want it to be read, understood, accepted, & funded, you should work with an editor.


Letitia Henville, PhD

With a PhD in English Literature, experience reviewing arts & culture grants for the Vancouver Foundation, and success in editing ~$7M of research funding proposals, I specialize in editing research grants in the health sciences, social sciences, and humanities and promotion & tenure dossiers for faculty across disciplines. I also write a monthly column for UniversityAffairs.ca called “Ask Dr. Editor.”
