Developmental editor for academic papers, dissertations, and grants

Profile Summary

I am a developmental editor experienced in academic writing, including scientific papers, dissertations, and grants. I can provide detailed edits of your manuscript that will increase publication success and get your work noticed and cited after publication. My goal is to help your audience appreciate what makes your science great. You should expect line-by-line English language edits that improve sentences and paragraphs for clarity and flow. I also provide commentary about structural problems, weak arguments, imprecise or confusing passages, and gaps in logic. After feedback, you will have a solid sense of how your work reads to a competent academic who is (possibly) not in your field. I have editing experience in the fields of engineering, earth sciences, economics, public health, and environmental sciences, and have worked on manuscripts published in Environmental Health Perspectives, Environmental Science & Technology, PNAS, Atmospheric Environment, Nature Sustainability, and others.
