My services include a variety of options: 

Tier 1: If you simply want a second set of eyes on your research paper, I can write up a full report that includes outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the study, where the study slots into the current published literature, and how the study/paper could be improved to take it to the next level and be accepted by a higher-impact journal.

Tier 2: Tier 1 service + extensive line editing of the paper, cover letter and figures before initial submission to ensure a smooth review process.

Tier 3: For a single fee, Tier 2 service throughout all stages of review, including help in composing any necessary point-by-point rebuttals, to better ensure eventual acceptance of the paper. I also offer advice, based on my vast experience as a professional editor, on how to deal with any difficulties that might arise during the review process, either with referees and/or with the editor.

Similar services are available for grant applications. Indeed, I have assisted many of my clients with their grants, including R01's, K99s, U54 Center Grants, as well as grants in the European Union, including ERCs.

If you have a special need or simply want help with English language editing I am happy to accomodate such requests. Just ask.

In addition, I can also offer a Masterclass for younger trainees and newer faculty members, outlining the best practices in manuscript preparation and writing and how to best navigate the editorial and peer review processes after submission. This is a 1- or 2-day workshop for various sized groups of participants that includes practical exercises and 1-on-1 instuction.

Finally, I can also offer assistance with any graphic art needs, including diagrams, schematics, cover illustrations, etc. This work will be done in collaboration with a professional illustrator with over 23 years of experience, including 19 years at Springer-Nature.

I can offer a volume discount if you or your department can guarantee a minimum number of projects per year.
