An essential aspect of my work is creative collaboration, which paves the way for us to take steps needed to complete projects with grace and ease. I treasure the opportunity to help you reach goals you have set for yourself. To work with you would be a privilege, a trust, and I take this trust to heart with every project.
The name of my business reflects my values in this regard. I chose the name Meta because meta is the guidepost that was placed at either end of the oval racetrack during Roman times. The meta helped guide charioteers through the chaos they found while making turns in their race to the finish line. I also chose Meta because it translates as with, beside, and among. I look forward together to getting your words out about our phenomenal world.
As a science writer/editor, I help professionals with journal articles, grants, curricula, dissertations, books, and reports. I also write and edit for individuals capturing their unique experiences and family histories in fictionalized and nonfiction books.
I can help you edit a single article or manage a large project. With services ranging from research to production, I can work with you to complete:
An article or report in need of organization with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and perhaps some of the more-elusive details of spelling and grammar
A book in need of thorough, substantive review and layout
An assessment, survey, or grant proposal in need of writing or editing
A journal article, thesis, or dissertation that needs to meet the requirements of a particular style guide
A set of course materials or curriculum in need of development, review, or editing
A blog or science-based website in need of editing for clarity and accuracy
A document with multiple authors that is beyond your current capacity to complete on time
