Willow G.

I am an expert technical writer and editor who has been writing grant proposals and research manuscripts for decades and has edited thousands of manuscripts, grants, book chapters, and press releases in fields ranging from life and physical sciences to social sciences. I excel at constructing logical narratives to present technical work in an understandable form. • Wrote manuscripts, book chapters, grant proposals, and presentations • Managed grant submission to national (inc. NIH, NSF) and private agencies • Edited ~10,000 scientific manuscripts • Adept in applying specific writing styles according to journal and agency guidelines • Administered a grant portfolio of several million dollars • Performed quality control of editing contractors and developmental editors • High attention to detail • PhD, Biology My former work as an academic cell and developmental biologist provided me with an ideal background to transition into science communication 15 years ago, to apply my passion for science to support other researchers. Since then, I have worked with clients in varied non-profit and for-profit enterprises. My extensive experience has made me highly adept at rapidly absorbing and synthesizing new information and targeting the presentation of that information to specific audiences. Producing work of the highest quality is extremely important to me because of my first-hand experience in the strenuous, time-consuming work of developing new science and presenting it to others. Working with clients to make sure that your work has the highest impact possible is deeply fulfilling for me. Rest assured that I will approach your work with the utmost respect and enthusiasm!
