I specialize in developmental and substantive editing for professionals in the fields of environmental sciences and land-use planning, with a particular emphasis on transportation planning. This type of editing includes:

• developing an effective organizational structure for the document
• improving the clarity and flow of the writing
• identifying and correcting internal inconsistencies
• basic copyediting and proofreading: correcting grammar, spelling and typographical errors not caught by automated spell-checkers

I can help non-native English speakers improve the grammatical and semantic accuracy of their technical writing—especially important when submitting articles to peer-reviewed professional journals.

I also do technical writing, creating original text for professionals who prefer to have someone else do their writing.

A professional writer can produce more concise documentation, in a shorter amount of time, than a non-writer. Hiring a technical writer can therefore save you time and even reduce the volume of your document, saving printing costs and helping your readers cover your material more quickly.
