I'm Michelle McRae, board-certified as an Editor in the Life Sciences.
With a PhD and postdoctoral experience in biomedical science and editing training (including the American Medical Writers Association Certificate in Medical Editing), I have the expertise to elevate your scientific and medical writing projects.
What I edit: Journal articles, grant applications (NIH and NSF) and funding reports, marketing and technical documents and press releases, book chapters, slide presentations, graduate student admission essays, faculty application materials, and health care advertising.
I work with scientists, clinicians, universities, agencies, companies, and journals. By applying established standards, I ensure your content is clear and precise while retaining your voice as the author.
I can edit using the following styles: AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition; Chicago Manual of Style, 17th and 18th editions; AP Stylebook; in-house and journal styles.
I regularly participate in professional development, and I ensure your content aligns with industry standards. As such, I am an active member of these editorial associations: Editorial Freelancers Association, American Medical Writers Association, Bay Area Editors' Forum, ScENe (Scientific Editors Network).
I also volunteer for the Academic Editing Chapter, Editorial Freelancers Association/Editors Canada, and for the Northern California Chapter, American Medical Writers Association.
