I offer Master's, MBA and Ph.D. dissertation coaching, academic mentoring, writing, editing and proofreading, research proposal and funding application development; sustainability consulting, environmental and business research, writing and substantive editing of white papers, business, and government reports. I am an Australia-based academic and business researcher, data analyst, academic editor, and writer with a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies degree from Macquarie University, one of Australia's leading universities and over 25 years of professional experience, including 20 years of academic experience. I have conducted research work for governments, educational institutions, private companies, and NGOs in Australia, the UK, the USA, and Germany, published several academic papers in peer-reviewed journals on the subjects of environmental and climate policies and decision-making, co-authored a business report on corporate sustainability and several environmental reports. I have also reviewed dozens of articles for peer-reviewed journals, higher degree dissertations, and student assignments, as well as technical reports, and assisted their authors with editing prior to submission, re-submission, and subsequent successful acceptance. Throughout my academic career, I have prepared and submitted eight successful funding proposals. The grants received were from the U.S. Department of State, Open Society Foundation ("Soros Foundation"), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and some European educational institutions. I have extensive experience in conducting educational seminars, academic supervision, and marking student assignments. I am committed to the highest quality standards and always meet deadlines. I accept fixed-price proposals only under exceptional circumstances. I look forward to helping you with any of your research needs and with science, business, and academic writing or editing.

I'm a (semi) retired academic and research strategy consultant. I provide academic publication support and grant application assistance for researchers, independent scholars, and small teams working outside large institutional support structures. My work includes manuscript review, journal targeting, submission preparation, responses to reviewer feedback, and grant development. The focus is on clarity, coherence, and procedural correctness within legitimate academic and funding processes. I currently serve as an Associate Editor for a peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed journal. This editorial experience informs my understanding of publication standards and reviewer expectations; (editorial responsibilities are strictly separate from client work, and no acceptance or funding outcomes are implied or guaranteed). I speak regularly at academic and research-industry forums, which informs my emphasis on clear communication and fit for purpose in both publications and grant applications. Please note that I do not write research on behalf of clients, provide data or results, or offer publication guarantees. All work is conducted in line with standard academic and ethical norms. I work best with clients who value rigour, transparency, and long-term credibility over speed or shortcuts. My Google Scholar and ORCID profiles along with my professional website address are available on request.

** Returning to Upwork early 2026 following period of employment - earnings $20K+ ** Hello - and thank you for taking a look at my profile. I'm a UK-Australia dual citizen and part-time writer. I create text that is defined by my abilities as an analytical thinker, my highly developed research capability, and second-nature writing skills. These enable me to bring a strong focus to complex writing projects, whether it's interweaving related threads into a single narrative, or structuring a longer document to convey an overriding objective. My writing priorities, in no particular order, are: - creating structure, - engagement and flow, - addressing the reader in language they can understand, - ensuring suitability to format, - writing in the author voice, - optimizing word count and SEO. Blended successfully, these elements ensure clarity and a compelling yet succinct text. My background encompasses profit and non-profit organisations with industries from the arts to finance, careers to IT start-ups, health and ag-science. Formats include grant applications, white papers, reports, case studies, eBooks, articles and technical information. I submit suitable work examples in proposals. Meanwhile, here's a preview of some work areas: - Grant applications, from $80k to $60m proposals for arts venues, universities, and LGAs. - Writing original communications for a start-up company in the agricultural space. - Editing corporate communications into brand voice for a financial institution for five years. - Short form and long form digital and print article writing, on topics from finance to antiques. - Completing research projects for Australia’s national science agency. - Non-fiction 21k word eBook published on Amazon - Kindle, Apple books, and other platforms. Thank you - I hope we can speak soon!
