Technical Writing, Research, Editing, & Grant Services

—by E.M. Zinsmeister, MS, PhD

Eyeglasses rest upturned on the blank white paper of an open notebook. A laptop is partially obscured in the background. The image appears to invite clear and thoughtful communication on the part of the glasses wearer.

Technical Writing, Research, & Science Communications

  • Research papers, scientific journal articles, technical reports, white papers, literature reviews, press releases, abstracts, newsletters, blog posts

Shelves of nonfiction, technical, & scientific texts fill the background. A person in black tights and pink leather sneakers stands tiptoe upon several books, for literal manuscript support, to reach something unseen. The image cuts off at the knee.

Academic & Professional Editing

  • Book proposals, journal submissions, manuscript revisions, web content, AI fact-checking, bibliographic formatting

Floor-to-ceiling windows light a bright room with two empty chairs facing one another across a desk. The image invokes a consultation for a future proposal, new project, or opportunity.

Grant Writing & Consultation

  • Proposal development, support on eligibility and scoring, grant writing, proposal editing, full application management to submission, grant reporting

My process…

  • We’ll set up an introductory call so you can tell me about your project needs.

  • Once I understand the scope and services you are looking for, I’ll email a quote and we’ll set the timeline.

  • You’ll receive a full draft, tracked changes, or grant proposal by the deadline.

  • You can ask questions and request changes. I am committed to working on your project until you are completely satisfied.

An unnamed calendar month with day 30 circled in red marker as if to indicate a deadline. Red pushpins are stuck onto various dates, indicating a project timeline of milestones.
