I'm a trained US-born academic editor with close to 12 years’ experience, and I live in Haifa, Israel. My specialty is helping academics prepare their manuscripts to scholarly standards, including submissions to peer-reviewed journals, grant applications, graduate study applications, and the like. I’m particularly adept at working with authors who aren’t writing in their native tongue, thanks to my long former career teaching English as a foreign/second language (EFL, ESL) to students in Israel and the US and my background as a bilingual accustomed myself to thinking in two languages, English and Hebrew. I have helped many individual authors in the hard sciences and social sciences prepare papers that are so well-written that reviewers often remark on the clarity of expression.
