About Me
Helping authors write accessible texts and get their ideas seen.
Cara Jordan received her PhD in art history from the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY), and is the cofounder of Flatpage, an editorial agency and publishing house based in New York and Dubai.
With a roster of academic editors with PhDs and varying expertise, Flatpage offers manuscript evaluation and editing, as well as job application assistance, book proposal critique, and other forms of writing support for authors of all backgrounds and levels.
Cara has seen many sides of the academic publishing industry: as an author, a managing editor of a journal, and as a freelance developmental editor and copyeditor.
She regularly teaches both online and in the classroom. Since 2023 she has taught the Advanced Copyediting course through the University of California San Diego’s Extended Studies program; prior to that she spent numerous years lecturing at the undergraduate level in the City University of New York system.
