About Augustin

Augustin Kendall
Augustin Kendall
 I'm Augustin Kendall, the editor behind Clarify Editing.

I am in love with words, as a reader, a writer, and an editor. I appreciate the way writing expands our world and connects us to each other. Over time, I have crafted this love into a profession with training, practice, more training, and more practice. My training includes academic education in the humanities, professional certification in all levels of editing, and on-the-job learning about content strategy.

I have ten years of experience editing books for self-published authors, website content, and articles across many subjects and industries.

Whatever your project, I can help you say what you mean.

When working with fiction, I aim to immerse myself in the setting or world you've created and consider my edits from that perspective. I offer specific feedback, both praise and critique, designed to help educate you about writing practices as well as improve your current manuscript.

With nonfiction and websites, I always consider your writing from your point of view as well as your readers' experience. I think about what you want to say, how your words reflect who you are, what your audiences want to hear, and how they best receive information.


Education
Editing certificate, NYU Center for Publishing & Editing
BA in gender studies and philosophy
MA in psychology

I currently live in Minneapolis. I work with writers all over the country. In my spare time, I read psychology, philosophy, fiction, science fiction/fantasy, and creative and journalistic nonfiction.

I love to grow plants, cook good food, see dance performances, and lounge around in a park in nice weather.
