Targeted writing and editing in environmental and agricultural sciences.
Testimonials
“Joy has provided freelance editing services for our journal since 2019. She is a true professional with great talent: her responses to my requests are always timely; the edited product is always returned on time, often earlier than the expected return date; the manuscripts are noticeably improved; and her editing skillfully meets the balance between over- and under-editing. Between her eye for subtle detail and subject-based editing expertise, I am always confident that the product that Joy returns to me will reflect the high-standards of writing that our readers expect of our journal.”
“The research briefs that Joy researches and writes for us are solidly written and require little editing. She is courteous and professional in her communications. I am eager to continue working with her!”
“Joy’s extensive knowledge of forestry and ecology makes her an ideal partner in writing or editing public outreach materials in this field. Working with her takes much of the heavy load of drafting and refining text off my shoulders.”
“Joy combines a foundation of scientific knowledge with editorial fluency and smart project management to strengthen language and support team members. She asks the right questions up front to focus her talents where they’re most needed, delivering tight copy even in quick-turn situations. I’m grateful to have her in my corner.”
“Thank you for your careful attention to detail! Your comments and questions helped me to see issues that I previously didn’t notice.”
“Joy worked quickly and efficiently to research, digest, and write about all aspects of utility-scale solar development–a subject that was brand new to her. In addition to information about environmental impacts, she effectively summarized information outside her regular fields of work, including taxation and economic development. Throughout the year-long project, she collaborated with print and web designers to produce a polished final product on deadline. I plan to work with Joy again in the next phase of this work.”
“Joy researched and wrote an extensive national 4-H curriculum leaders’ guide with me. Her work was of the highest caliber and she always met deadlines. She coordinated with a photographer to have hundreds of photos taken. She was courteous and professional and made sure all the pieces came together to produce a polished piece.”
