I am Bob Banning, a freelance editor of academic manuscripts. I help publishers and authors produce writing that serves.
I specialize in biblical and theological studies, literary criticism, philosophy, and other subjects in the humanities. I have also edited many works in other disciplines and genres, including the social sciences, fiction, and memoir. I have been serving writers and publishers for 23 years and have edited over 300 manuscripts. To learn what my clients say about me, check out Testimonials.
