Consulting, writing, and editing in biomedical science

The world needs your ideas. Let me help you share them.

In academia, the idea of hiring a writer may seem strange or even wrong. As someone who single-handedly juggles running a lab, conducting research, teaching classes, mentoring new scientists, and writing grant proposals, you probably believe you have to do it all on your own.

But this simply isn’t true — and it shouldn’t be how you have to live and work.

In a recent study of burnout in higher education conducted by Business Wire, more than half of the people surveyed said they were seriously considering leaving academia for another career or early retirement.

Doing it all yourself isn’t working, and it’s definitely not sustainable. Thankfully, the solution doesn’t have to be leaving the work you love.

Instead, you can find the support you need to do your job effectively and without sacrificing your health, your family, or your personal life.

In fact, this is exactly what In Scripto was created to help you do.

  • "This is a very thorough review. I love what you did for Specific Aims and Innovation section. Specific Aim Page is much better. It goes straight to the point!…This is a very effective way to turn the table, from their previous concerns of my weakness into those as the strength of the proposal now. Wow, thank you so much for your help!"

    Jun Yoshioka, MD, PhD at The City College of New York

  • "I contracted with Dr. Daniel to review my grants and manuscripts. Her feedback is consistently brilliant, thorough and professional, and has definitely elevated my work product. I recommended her to my colleagues, and they benefitted so much from her consultancy that our entire Department now uses her services"

    James Burkett, PhD at the University of Toledo

  • "Sarah's exceptional editing skills and attention to detail make her stand out in a crowded field of professional editing services. I have had the privilege of working with her on multiple projects and can attest to her outstanding ability to bring out the best in any manuscript. Despite trying other editing services in the past, I have never encountered anyone who matches Sarah's level of professionalism and expertise. Her passion for her work is truly inspiring, and her results are consistently impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her company to anyone seeking top-notch editing services, as I am confident that she will exceed your expectations in every way. "

    Rammohan Shukla, PhD at the University of Toledo

  • "I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent work. The first application [edited by In Scripto] was funded with a score in the top 3%. I now got the second one back yesterday with a score in the top 5%. I could not do these without your amazing editing work."

    Jun Yoshioka, MD, PhD at The City College of New York

How We Can Work Together

Whether you simply need someone to proofread your writing for grammar and flow or you need more in-depth feedback to help with structure and content, I am here to help.

Editing & Proofreading

Writing & Consulting

If you need someone to collaborate with on a new grant or manuscript, I’ve got you covered.

Data stuck in a spreadsheet do not do anyone any good. If you struggle with getting grant proposals completed on time or papers out of your backlog and submitted for review, I can help you form a plan and stick to it.

Who In Scripto Supports

You may be seeking support with your scientific writing because you…

  • Aren’t tenured yet and don’t have resources such as graduate students or postdocs to help you with your grant proposals and publications.

  • Are tenured with your own lab, but between personnel turnover and grad students needing to focus on their own research, you struggle to find consistent support with your writing.

  • Are constantly exhausted from putting in a full day of teaching and lab work and are burnt out trying to write grants and publish papers in the evenings and over the weekends. 

You could have…

  • A backlog of data that has yet to be published because you’re lacking in time or motivation. 

  • Phenomenal ideas for experiments or grants but get stuck when you sit down to actually write. 

  • Pursued a career in science because you love doing experiments, playing in the lab, and making discoveries, but instead, you’ve found you have to spend all of your time behind a desk. 

Or maybe you would love to publish your work in more journals, but English isn’t your first language, and you need help to ensure that your valuable research is heard in a field that doesn’t always make a plurality of ideas easy.  

I am grateful for you and the work you are doing. I sincerely mean it when I say that the world needs you. It also needs to know about your ideas and your findings. 

After all, science can only bring about effective change if it is communicated.

My mission is simple: To get you back to the important work you do and to the parts of your job that you love, while I do what I love…writing!

You do the work in the lab.

Now, let me help you get it in writing.
