Academic Writer, Editor, Proofreader.

$15/hr Starting at $25

I am a native English speaker with extensive editing experience. As a former professor with a Ph.D., I have published over 70 papers, 53 of which have been cited at least 10 times. For 15 years, I served as an associate editor of "Systematic Biology", one of the highest impact journals in science. I guided many doctoral dissertations to successful completion? and was head of admissions in my department. I have a strong record in writing proposals ?and have been awarded seven NSF grants. I have extensive experience in teaching as well, with demonstrated success at primary, secondary, undergraduate and graduate levels. After I retired from university service during a period of ill health, I worked as an independent consultant to the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion, providing scientific and content for their K-12 programming. I am comfortable in writing for both specialist and general audiences; the best writing needs to be accessible to the non-specialist, while still maintaining its precision and accuracy in conveying scholarly content. As a writer, I made most of the illustrations for my papers ?and became an expert at Adobe photoshop and illustrator.
