Your ideas are important.
Let’s work together to ensure your knowledge, evidence and accomplishments shine and connect with readers. I help academics, students and non-profits improve their writing, reach their goals and produce clear, error-free documents.
I empower you to produce your best work.

Senior Academics
In the high stakes “publish or perish” environment of academia, you need someone in your corner to ensure your manuscripts are ready for submission, letting you focus on your career goals. Together, we will see your papers published and your grant proposals funded, so that your research contributions can make an impact in your field.
-
Graduate Students
I give you the gift of time to focus more on your research and less on grammar and formatting. I can verify that your dissertation, thesis or paper meets your school’s formatting requirements and your advisor’s specifications. Your evidence will be more clearly conveyed, your text more readable and your claims more persuasive. Together, we will ensure your manuscript is ready for your advisor and committee’s approval.

Nonprofits
Your reports, white papers and grant applications need to be persuasive and clear to make the biggest impact with your clients and donors. In order to connect your mission with funders’ interests and stakeholders’ values, I will help you craft a succinct and compelling narrative.
What People Are Saying
“I hired Rebecca to edit my graduate level papers, because I did not have the time to focus on the details. I was too busy writing! Rebecca was an ace at learning my school’s editing standards and applying them. She managed a very fast turnaround time while still catching every detail, and her feedback on my writing was invaluable. I got A’s on the papers Rebecca edited! She was exactly what I needed. I will definitely be hiring her throughout my graduate career and beyond.”
— Connie M., Graduate Student
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rebecca for the past three years. Throughout all of our interactions, I have found Rebecca to be a creative, solutions-oriented, strategic, professional partner in our work. Her vision, along with the writing and editing skills necessary to convey her vision to others, resulted in a successful launch and significant financial backing for our organization. Her attention to detail, commitment to seeing projects through, and ability to balance many perspectives and competing needs are invaluable!”
— Rachel N., Nonprofit Leader
“I was looking for an experienced editor's review of my writing, to help me see how I could improve. Rebecca absolutely helped me see what I was doing wrong and how to fix those issues. Working with her was everything I had hoped for. I would hire Rebecca again, because she is thorough, precise, and easy to work with.”
— Lindsay T., Freelance Writer
Hi, I’m Rebecca.
I can help you with your writing issues, because I experienced those same hurdles firsthand and learned to navigate past them. I have a Ph.D. in Ecology. I know what it’s like to write and defend a thesis. I have published papers in academic journals and books, submitted grant applications and written and edited materials for nonprofit organizations.
I can offer feedback on subject-specific writing with my background knowledge of life sciences, environmental issues and K-12 education. I offer traditional editing services as well, with a range of clients from graduate students, professors and post-docs and non-profit organizations.
I am passionate about helping you reach your writing goals. I know how critical it is to be published in academic spaces; how stressful it is to prepare your thesis for submission; and how imperative it is for those grants to be funded.
