Occasionally I have appeared in minor roles, or as a bit player, in other people's stories. Here are some: 

Here are some testimonials:

We couldn’t believe our luck when we found Thom to assist with editing a complicated philosophical manuscript that drew from poetic sources in English, French, German and Polish. How unusual it was to find a literary scholar with the depth and breadth of linguistic and technical expertise that Thom brought to the task—which included verifying, and in some cases providing, translations of poems that stretched from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, and also required securing permissions, formatting, and copyediting. Thom did excellent work, was an excellent communicator, and overall, our team would highly recommend.

Thomas is an excellent editor: tactful, attentive, and responsible. His help with my texts really moved them to a new level of clarity. I plan to use his services again!
Polina Barskova, Poet and Professor of Russian Literature, UC Berkeley

I've hired Thom to look over academic journal articles and grant applications for me. His referencing work is accurate and well-organized, and his native-English proofreading is top notch. He is easy to communicate with and understood very well what needed to be done with very little instruction. When I needed a quick turnaround, he was able to accommodate my timeframe, and I recommend his services highly!

Thom was a fantastic research assistant.  He tracked down sources across multiple centuries, languages and continents quickly and professionally. He's fun to work with and sensitive to an author's style and bibliographic resonance. If there were an academic Yelp, I'd give him five stars.
