About

www.scriptical.net

I am a professional writer/editor. A bioscience engineer by training, I have published multiple high-end academic as well as popularizing articles during my PhD and post-doc carreer. I have been working as a freelance academic editor in the fields of biological and agricultural sciences, and medicine. I have edited hundreds of manuscripts and for high-impact journals, and I'm especially experienced with non-native English (ESL) speakers. My expertise is in the fields of life sciences, molecular biology, genetics, medicine, agriculture, plant physiology, and plant pathology. Because of my academic experience, I have a good understanding of what academic clients expect. My assignments routinely receive high appreciation for their extremely detail-oriented nature, substantive feedback to the author, and overall high quality.

As a writer, my passion for plants, agriculture, and sustainability comes across in my writing. My academic background and expertise allow me to take complicated topics and convey them to an audience in simple, understandable concepts and terms. I particularly love writing about plants, permaculture, gardening, and ecology.

You may view more of my background at www.scriptical.net. Get in touch through Guru or katrien@scriptical.net to let me know how I can help you!

Work Terms

Open and clear communication is key. As a sole proprietor, I take sole responsibility for all work assigned. For academic editing jobs, all information remains confident. I prefer to use Guru Safepay, but payment options can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
