Dr. Amy K. Guenther (she/her) is a writer, editor, and scholar based in Austin, Texas. She has a PhD in Performance as Public Practice (a hybrid program of theatre and performance studies) and a graduate portfolio (minor) in women’s and gender studies from the University of Texas at Austin. As an editor, she specializes in developmental editing and copyediting academic manuscripts. Because performance studies is an interdisciplinary field, she has a working knowledge of several disciplines within the humanities that she frequently draws upon when editing academic manuscripts.
She also has ample experience working with ESL and ELL writers. She has been freelance editing since 2019 and has over eight years of experience evaluating undergraduate and graduate student texts. Her goals in editing are 1) to help you learn the skills to become a better writer and 2) to help you find and maintain your voice as a writer. She strives to provide mindful and compassionate editing that honors the process as much as the product.
