Music

I have always been passionate about playing and listening to music. It is a pleasure to be able to combine my work with my outside interests by editing texts about aspects of music. I am particularly interested in working on texts about chamber music and music history, including biographies.

As well as helping authors directly and via book publishers, I have copyedited articles for the peer-reviewed journal Tempo.

You might need editing services for:

manuscripts to be submitted to a journal or book publisher.
programme notes, biographies, and similar short texts.
your website.

Whatever the reason, I can help finalise your manuscript, ensuring it is ready for submission.

Testimonials and books worked on

”Thank you very much for your very thorough and thoughtful report and changes to the proposal.”
Maeve Sterbenz
Assistant Professor of Music, Smith College

”Using Treetop Editing was a very last-minute decision and the deadline was always going to be difficult, especially considering my word count also needed cutting by over 15%. Not only did Eleanor complete it ahead of time, but she helped to make the finished document a very refined version which I was over the moon with. I was always updated with the progress, and it helped me feel very confident about my final dissertation. Thank you.”
Jonny Lee
Masters Candidate

”Eleanor helped me edit the final copy of my doctoral thesis through her careful proofreading. She caught many grammatical and typographical errors in addition to identifying important discrepancies in content. She completed her work quickly and thoroughly, and I highly recommend her.”
