For writers in the humanities and social sciences - academic or creative, print or electronic - I can help you discern your true voice and deliver a well-crafted argument. I love encountering new ideas and can be your passionate advocate, helping to prune away excess so your ideas can be deeply and widely received. For self-publishing authors, I can provide a tailored package of editorial and design services to develop your inspired outline into a polished, published book. I have successfully helped writers develop magazine articles, book manuscripts, academic papers, and more.

“I have recently completed a very lengthy linguistic research project which has yielded three relatively complex manuscripts. I chose Ms. Rooker as my editor after a long review process of various publishing options. Ms. Rooker’s work is so superior to anything that I could have expected that I have already contracted her as my editor for the second two manuscripts. She has an exceptional ability to quickly translate the technicalities of intricate analysis into succinct and illuminating conclusions. Ms. Rooker’s work goes far beyond the fitting out of approved styles and formats. She knows what I want to say and she knows how to say it – not just in her language, but in my own idiomatic venue, yet making it accessible to a broadly diverse readership. She aggressively pursues excellency of expression, yet she somehow maintains a complete passivity in imposing her own aesthetic values. This is an extraordinarily rare editorial virtue. She has it. I am entirely pleased with her work and I am looking forward to working with her in the future on subsequent manuscripts.”
