Freelance grant writing & grant editing
Pre-submission research grant writing and developmental grant editing.
Friendly and constructive feedback from a native English-speaking peer reviewer and content editor.
I will think carefully and go deep into the details of your proposal, providing a critique of the logic, structure, and experimental plan.
I will make sure your narrative flows with clarity and help you highlight the importance of your idea and the excellence of your collaborative team.
And, I will crosscheck your proposal against the grant application guidelines to ensure you’ve ticked all the boxes.

∘ I offer this service in British or American English. I'm a native Brit, but I've lived in the US and am married to an American; as a result, I speak both languages.
The process:
Initial no-cost consultation
You email me a brief description of your project, including the word count (if relevant), the service you need, and your deadline.
I contact you by email to discuss the details. This might include a phone call or video chat to help me understand your needs and what I can do to help.
Cost estimate
When the details of the project are confirmed, I will email you a cost estimate for your project along with an expected time frame, tailored to meet your deadline.
I get to work
If you agree to the project terms and confirm that you want to proceed, you email me your file(s) and I get to work.
When I have completed the work, I email you the new file(s) and an invoice for payment.
If aspects of my work need clarification, I offer a no-cost follow-up communication to answer questions.
Repeated edits of files/documents beyond the initial follow-up will incur additional charges at the hourly or per-word rate, whichever is applicable.
