About the Editor
Throughout my academic career I was often told that I was a good writer. Academic writing is very often not the clearest or most pleasing to read, but I felt it important to affect a level of clarity and simplicity of style that would best convey the ideas I had in my head. Good writing does not announce itself as good writing, or reach for sophisticated diction without need. When the writing is good it gets out of its own way; complex ideas are rendered easy to digest; the writer and reader see eye-to-eye.
In 2017 I began editing academic documents for my peers. This included master’s theses and doctoral dissertations across the fields of politics, anthropology, history, sports medicine, religious studies, civil engineering, and philosophy, among others.
Starting in 2022 and continuing to today, I edit policy documents for think tanks. In four years, I have edited well over one hundred documents. Past and present clients include:
- The Fraser Institute
- The Macdonald Laurier Institute
- The C.D. Howe Institute
- The Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP)
- The National Institute on Aging
“The Fraser Institute has used Justin Yule as a freelance editor to edit various papers on public policy since 2023. He performs edits with skill, ensuring clarity, correct spelling and grammar, and stays true to the author’s voice. He is pleasant, efficient, and professional, and completes assignments within the specified time period.”
“…surgical…”
— James Fleming, C.D. Howe Institute
“Great is the stream of the Assyrian river, but much filth of earth and much refuse it carries on its waters. And not of every water do the Melissae carry to Deo, but of the trickling stream that springs from a holy fountain, pure and undefiled, the very crown of waters.”
