I edit and proofread medical/scientific, business, and educational materials, for print and online. The range includes research papers and reports; physician and patient brochures; training and instruction manuals; promotional brochures, flyers, advertorials, and websites; seminar manuals and PowerPoint presentations, plus all the collaterals, including invitations, evaluation forms, placemats, calendars, posters, and even CD ROM and DVD covers.

My degree in Physiology and Biochemistry and my experience as a teacher give me the background for working with medical and life science texts and with educational and training materials. Working with technical manuals, ESL texts, and marketing communications has honed my skills at making your writing more readable, correct, and concise.

What are the skills that make me a good editor? I am:

- Detail-oriented and proficient at spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage;

- Adept at eliminating unnecessary jargon and  bias;

- Used to cross-checking data in text and graphics;

- Able to create, adhere to, and contribute to a style sheet to ensure consistency;

- Familiar with a variety of style guides, including AMA, Chicago, CSE, APA, and Canadian Style;

- Able to make tactful observations and suggestions.
