About me: An Oxford-educated academic and editor, I am also a multiple boosted author at Medium, proprietor of Wilde(st) Dreams Editing and Proofreading, and editor of 10 award-winning books--4 of which have won multiple awards.

So search no more: I can help YOU achieve your wild(e)st publishing dreams. Whether it’s a college application essay, doctoral dissertation, scholarly monograph–or a story on Medium, you can learn plenty from me.

Because unlike many on Medium who claim to be writing coaches, tutors, and editors, I actually have the chops! I am a real professor, scholar, and published author.

My publications include The Routledge Guidebook to Paine’s Rights of Man (the first comprehensive study of this classic) essays in The Charles Scribner’s British Writer Series (edited by Jay Parini), 18th-century Life, Notes and Queries, and Romanticism on the Net. More recently, my essays have been published in Frankenstein Reanimated (edited by Marc Garrett and Yiannis Colakides), Histories from Loss (edited by Daniel Woolf and Marnie Hughes-Warrington), and The Palgrave Handbook of the Vampire (edited by Simon Bacon).

I am presently completing an 80,000-word guide to Matthew Lewis’ Monk for Manchester University Press--which will be the first fully contextualized study of this scandalous, classic Gothic novel from 1796!

Finally, I am on the editorial boards of Anthem Press Gothic Studies and Reading the Gothic series at Manchester University Press.
