Hello!
I'm Kathryn.
I live in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania with my family and our dog, Zuzu. Written communications are my forte. Whether pulled in to write grants and educational materials or to edit web copy and instructional manuals, I’ve been a trusted collaborator from spheres as varied as yoga and wellness to professional development to social policy. I’ve always loved to read and write, but most satisfying to me is polishing a piece of writing so it says just what it needs to say, flawlessly. When written communication is clear, concise, and impeccably targeted to its audience, it saves time and energy.
I will help you meet your communication needs with ease and effectiveness. With experience in the academic, nonprofit, and business sectors, I can craft or edit a wide variety of written materials to ensure the best possible experience for your target audience. I offer copy editing and proofreading services, search engine optimization services, abstracting, and can also create documents or web content for you from meeting notes, transcripts, ideas, or other scribblings. As friendly as I am meticulous, I’d love to talk with you about how I can help with your next project.
What I Offer
Proofreading
I’ll review your written material to ensure it is free from grammatical or spelling errors.
Copy
Editing
I’ll revise your written material with an eye to readability and with your specific audience in mind. I’ll check for any spelling and grammatical errors or other inconsistencies. Revisions can include search engine optimization (SEO). Some types of materials I’ve worked with include: academic papers, grants, instructional materials, web content, essays, resumés, and business communications.
Abstracting
I’ll read your transcript or paper and summarize its content in 250-300 words.
Web Content /
Document Creation
I’ll create content or documents from your transcripts, notes, or ideas. In the past, this has included bios, blogs, letters and other communications, presentation aids, and social media posts. Web content creation includes SEO services.
Testimonials
“Every time my company gets an abstract or piece of edited writing back from Kathryn, my immediate reaction is "Wow!!" Her ability to understand extremely complex topics in a wide range of fields and to extract, distill, and concisely describe the most important insights and content is remarkable (so much so that one of our customers prefers that she write their science-themed interview abstracts rather than giving the task to any of the scientists on their staff). She is a pleasure to work with - responsive, timely, deeply curious, and a true partner in creating a final product that meets the needs of our company and customers.
