I’m a writer and editor working across areas of the humanities, sciences, and arts. I am a senior editor with the Harvard University Press and was previously managing editor of Boston Review, a small-but-mighty political and literary magazine.

My writing has been published by the Washington Post, Boston Globe, New Republic, LA Review of Books, Democracy Journal, the Baffler, and others.

As a freelance developmental editor, copy editor, and copywriter, I have worked with book publishers and with authors of serious nonfiction published by academic and trade presses, scholarly journals, and magazines. See the Editorial Services link at the top for more information and a list of titles.

I’m happy to hear from you by email: swaxman [at] gmail.com.
