What We Do
To get your MESSAGE ACROSS

Editing: All levels
To make your work shine and use your editorial resources effectively, you need an editor that gets the difference between developmental, stylistic, and substantive editing, fact-checking, copy-editing, and proof-reading. We can advise on what’s needed, and in what order! We’ll work with your style guide of choice, recommend one, or help you develop one.
Research support
A pro makes the difference. Graduate students are excellent researchers, but can’t do everything! Every project can benefit from independent, higher-level research support. We don’t just write well: we dig deeper, do research interviews, summarize efficiently, scrutinize in a supportive way, catch many statistical errors before going to press, and bring valuable outsider perspective.
Image curation
If an image is worth a thousand words, you want the right one. We’ll save you time by helping you find it and arranging permissions. We can take care of basic image-editing and liaise with publishers on your behalf. We also apply communications and stats training to develop and tweak conceptual model illustrations, graphs, and infographics.
Copywriting
Two+ decades of pro writing and editing experience make us comfortable writing in a wide range of non-fiction formats and voices, and for a very wide range of audiences. Our journalism experience helps you “find the story” in the science. We specialize in translating complex material into plain language that resonates with different education and engagement levels.
Proposal development
Stand out: get funded. Your proposal must be concise, compelling, consistently styled, and tick all the boxes. It needs a thoughtful budget, impeccable supporting research, and powerful letters of support. Most importantly, it must make a coherent case that inspires people evaluating it. Count on us to help with all of this.
Ghostwriting and collaborative writing
You: The big idea. Us: All the rest. You bring the big idea, and retain ultimate creative control. We bring the writing, interviewing, research, editing, image curation, and project management chops. Together we sort out what level of acknowledgement is appropriate for the final work, and we get your project into the world.
