Editing Services

I will edit your science, academic or professional document.

I will improve your document’s clarity, structure, flow and readability while preserving your voice and accuracy of your work.

Strong ideas deserve clear writing. I provide thoughtful developmental, line, and copy editing for science, environmental, academic, nonprofit, and professional materials.

With a PhD in Biology and decade of experience editing all kinds of documents, I understand how to work with technical language, complex arguments, evidence-heavy writing and varied audiences.

My goal is not merely to correct grammar. It is to help your document say what it needs to say as clearly and effectively as possible.

I am open to editing almost anything. Here are some examples of documents I’ve edited:

  • Research summaries, reports and white papers;

  • Grant narratives and proposals;

  • Academic manuscripts and dissertations;

  • Articles, essays, newsletters, radio scripts and web copy;

  • Books and long-form nonfiction;

  • Resumes, cover letters, and personal statements.

Your edit may include:

  • Tracked changes in Microsoft Word or Google Docs;

  • Improvements to clarity, transitions, organization and sentence flow;

  • Grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency, and style corrections;

  • Comments explaining substantial edits or questions; and

  • A clean final copy, if requested.

To provide an accurate quote, please provide:

  • Your document in Word or Google Docs format;

  • Page and word count;

  • Type of editing requested: developmental, line, copy, or a combination;

  • Intended audience and purpose;

  • Deadline; and

  • Any style guide, formatting requirements and whether you will request a clean copy.

My pricing is transparent and I provide a flat rate based on the scope, length, and turnaround time of each project.

Whether you need a quick proofread or an in-depth edit, I offer high-quality, detail-oriented service tailored to your needs. Let’s make your writing its best version.
