Editing/Consulting

Me in the press room at JSC (2010)

How much is your reputation worth? Are you sure you got the science right?

I worked in Mission Control where a typo in a procedure could cause a mistake costing millions of dollars and potentially endangering lives. So I've learned to double-check for errors and misleading statements in my work. But I still have experts go over my manuscripts because I only know what I intended to say...not what else I might need to add or could explain more clearly!

If you want to get it right, and are interested in hiring me as a consultant or technical editor to check your science (or science fiction), fact-check a space science/astronomy article or manuscript, or to write space-related content, here is my resume, and my standard manuscript consultation agreement (in Word format). I charge $60/hour for most assignments. Contact me for estimates.

Fill out (as much as you can) and email/fax/mail consulting agreement to:
