What I do

I edit technical writing (research papers, grant proposals, self evaluations, and theses) for clarity. In doing so, I check style, coherence, cohesion, and grammar. Most importantly, I critically read your paper through the eyes of an intelligent but ignorant reader.

After receiving your manuscript (which you will have prepared in Microsoft Word and sent as an e-mail attachment), I will spend 30 minutes editing and commenting on the Introduction. I will then return the partially edited document to you along with the charge for editing the entire document (or whichever parts you want me to work on). If you don't agree to the charge or don't like the way I edit, we can forget about it and there will be no cost for my 30 minutes. If you agree to that charge, I will continue to edit and comment on the paper by using the "track changes" function in Word. Unless we agree otherwise, I will edit and return your manuscript as an e-mail attachment within five business days.
