Technical editing for human readers.

Since 1998, I've provided substantive editing and copyediting for a range of academic, corporate, and technical clients. I ensure that no error goes uncaught, and that formatting and readability issues are flagged as well. For substantive editing, I ensure that your language is audience-appropriate, with concepts explained in the clearest and most intuitive manner. My past clients include academic researchers, local nonprofits, and Forbes 100 corporations. Intelligent technical editing would be impossible without some background in the manuscript’s specialized notation and lexicon. Thus, a science background like mine (B.S., Biology, Yale; Geology, U. of Michigan) is crucial. My experience authoring papers in peer-reviewed science journals can make the difference for your manuscript. I've helped dozens of clients project get their message across to the right audience. Let me put that experience to work for you. Contact me to request my full portfolio or a no-obligation quote today!
