Hi, I’m Melis Uğurlu, a freelance editor working across cultural, curatorial, academic, and design projects. I collaborate with journals, publishers, institutions, design practices, and individual authors to develop conceptually and critically rigorous publications. 

My editorial practice spans multiple genres, formats, and scales: from essays, research papers, and dissertations to books, exhibition texts, websites, and newsletters. With a background in architecture, history, and criticism, I combine editorial precision with an attention to structural, conceptual, and visual elements. 

Whether you are developing an initial idea, refining an existing draft, or preparing a publication for release, I can support your project at every stage of the editorial process. My services include research and conceptual development, structural and developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading—helping you strengthen your ideas, clarify your writing, and bring ambitious projects into their final form.

To discuss a project, please get in touch via email. You can find more information about my services on the Services page and also subscribe to my newsletter for editorial insights and resources.
