Rachel Kravetz, Editor, Humanities and Social Sciences

Rachel Kravetz (she/her) is a developmental editor who supports scholars across the humanities and social sciences in shaping their ideas into lucid prose.

Working with the premise that there is room for a multiplicity of ideas and styles in scholarly writing, she focuses on establishing a frame that compels readers to invest, create an arc, and draw out analysis. She works with early-career scholars who are managing the pressures of the tenure process, as well as experienced and independent scholars seeking to ensure their writing speaks cogently to the readers they wish to reach.

She brings to editing her own interdisciplinary training and more than ten years of experience teaching writing-intensive classes on literature and interdisciplinary topics, currently at the Bard Microcolleges in New York City and previously at the University of Virginia. 

Rachel’s scholarship has appeared in Philological Quarterly and Nineteenth-Century Literature. She earned a PhD in English from the CUNY Graduate Center, an MFA in painting from Yale University, and a BA in history from Columbia University.
