Paul Conant

I knew Karen Burkett for several months before she sold CED to the Porter family, but I’ve enjoyed being busy with them since then. I started editing dissertations about two years after I’d formed my editing business in 2000; I had edited magazines and books before that, and was working full time for a textbook editor in my hometown of Dallas, Texas, till the summer of 2001. More recently, I’ve been doing editing projects for several Christian publishers since 2016. I have a BA in math, the source of my logical, grammatical thinking. I also studied with the Summer Institute of Linguistics (“SIL”) about five years before I moved to Dallas (their HQ).

I have been working with dissertations since being at CED, and I’ve enjoyed how they administrate their work. 

I was born and raised in NYC, which is why I can call Dallas a “town”! I did Accounting for the USAF and for a small typing firm in Manhattan, which taught me word processing skills, which brought me to Dallas to use with SIL. Dallas is where I got married. We currently enjoy a church called Lake Pointe. The verses I strive to live by are found in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (KJV).
