Leslie B – Editor

Editor with a strong background in biology, medical, and nonfiction writing with experience working with both online and print publications.

Overview

I currently work as an editor for a scholarly journal, and I have worked as a freelance editor and writer for more than ten years. I have mastered the art of being a proactive organizer and planner to meet prompt deadlines, while never compromising meticulous attention to detail. I have worked with the American College of Radiology, scholarly books published by Pearson and Routledge, numerous academic papers, and NIH, NSF, and US Department of Defense grant applications. Additionally, I have edited and prepared proposals and RFPs. I am familiar with AMA, AP, APA, MLA, and Chicago Manual styles. I have the experience to write, edit, and format varied copy and meld them with your style, voice, and vision in a timely and efficient manner.
