Work experience
Self-employed
Catoctin Editorial Services offers expert writing and editing services for scientists and others who need the results of their research projects to be clear, concise, and understandable to a wide variety of audiences. I have had extensive experience working with scientists for whom English is not their first language, but who wish to publish in English-language journals. I have also edited non-scientific material, including business materials and personal documents (memoirs, resumes, and others).
U.S. Geological Survey
I provided a variety of editing and project management services ranging from developmental editing (working with scientists and others to develop their information products), line and copyediting, proofreading, overseeing production, printing, and web posting. Information products included technical reports, maps, illustrations, fact sheets, brochures, white papers, and web pages. I also checked peer review comments to ensure authors addressed all concerns before acceptance by journals or in-house publication.
