Science writer, science editor, geologist. SME in earth sciences: from natural hazards to paleontology, climatology to seismology, energy & more.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I provide a diverse array of services so that you can find the one that matches your specific needs.

Writing: I understand the importance of quality writing and the value of every written word. I specialize in writing science features, science news stories, op-eds and press releases, but I also write abstracts, presentations, fact sheets, communications materials, podcast/video/radio scripts and more. If you can dream it, I can write it.

Editing: When editing is done well, no one notices. They just think, "what a beautifully written piece." When editing is done poorly, people notice. My job is to make your writing sing and make sure no one knows you were edited. I do substantive/developmental editing, content editing, copy editing, style editing, proofreading and fact checking.

My subject-matter expertise is in the earth sciences (including climate, energy, seismology, volcanology, planetary geology, natural hazards, geohealth, paleoanthropology, oceanography, meteorology and paleontology), science policy and, (randomly), sports.

Key skills include: editing, science writing, project management, strategic planning, news judgment, narrative reporting, AP and Chicago Manual of Style, USGS and GPO style guides.
