Hello, I’m Julia.

​I am an editor, a writer, and an independent researcher.

As an English editor with some 10 years of experience in academic and textbook editing, I help researchers and authors improve their English manuscripts before publication or submission to a journal, conference, or thesis committee. In the process, I help them reduce their anxiety in writing, trust the process, and gain confidence in their written work. As a budding academic myself, I very much enjoy reading research and book manuscripts on different topics. I love helping researchers—especially “non-native” English speakers—communicate effectively their aims, findings, and insights to a wider community.

In addition to my solid background in academic publishing, I also have experience in providing quality editing services as a freelance editor. My stint as a freelance editor proofreading documents for an international non-profit, an entire newsletter series for a life coach, blogs and website content for business owners, and human-generated texts for an AI-training company provided me with valuable experience in assisting individual clients and businesses in ensuring quality and originality of written outputs.

My experience working with authors from various backgrounds, nationalities, and fields has enabled me to become conscious, critical, and creative. As a writer myself, I love helping researchers and fellow writers complete their writing projects and ensure quality and original outputs. More importantly, I love helping them find their voice and appreciate writing as a transformative process.

I have a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila. I am one of the Style and Copy Editors of Kritike, an open-access, international journal of philosophy, and an individual member of the Asian Council of Science Editors (valid for January to December 2025). I have written on feminist issues such as the Me Too Movement (published in Social Transformations: Journal of the Global South), and I’m currently writing on animal ethics.

Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or an aspiring non-fiction author, I’m dedicated to supporting you in your writing and publishing projects. Let me help you overcome your writing troubles. If you’re ready to get down to writing, let’s work together and turn your writing intentions into completions!

I’m also interested in research collaborations. If you’re writing on animal ethics, liberation, and justice, let’s chat and brainstorm!
