Freelance English Editing

Are you interested in having someone help you with your English language papers? Would you like to have a native English speaker, with a scientific background, review your manuscripts before you submit them for publication? I can help you to anticipate the concerns of journal editors. I would like to help you increase the chances of your article or grant proposal being accepted.

My Background– and How I Can Bring it to Work For You

I have an M.S. in Crop Science from the University of Illinois, where I also taught technical writing to American students. I have personally designed and managed field and laboratoy experiments (including microbiological and molecular work). I have worked for Machon Volcani, the University of Illinois, the University of Maryland and DuPont. My areas of technical specialization include weed science, plant pathology, general plant biology and experimental design. You can read more about my professional background in the attached resumes (English and Hebrew). I am available to edit papers and grant proposals on a wide variety of topics.

Services

When I receive your paper, I will review the English text and edit it for proper grammar, usage and style. I will also provide you with a review of the data analysis and arguments, to help you make sure that you've clearly explained your methods, results and conclusions. I try to anticipate the questions and comments of the reviewers. I will format your manuscript according to the publisher's specifications, including in text citations and reference lists.

I am also very happy to help with larger or more specialized projects.

I can provide all appropriate invoices (heshboniot) and tax documents.

I can be easily reached by phone (050-875-2597) or e-mail (becky7bierman@yahoo.com). I speak English and Hebrew.
