The Word Scientist was born from a strong admiration for the alchemy of words. How we manipulate language into sentences to express thoughts and ideas creates understanding, be it for educational, creative, or professional purposes.

Our expertise lies in the details and nuances that can turn any style of writing from flat to fully alive, allowing your words to speak for themselves to your particular audience. We are schooled in the industry formatting guidelines for cover letters, book proposals and manuscripts, novel queries, short prose, business correspondence, and poetry to ensure your work is properly presented. We are familiar with many style guides, including The Gregg Reference Manual, The Associated Press Stylebook, The Chicago Manual of Style, and the AMA Manual of Style.

Over the years our experience has grown to include writing and editing ad copy for The Boston Phoenix, proofreading and copyediting of full-length book manuscripts, creating and editing hundreds of cover letters for a variety of professional skill levels, proofreading and copyediting of corporate mailing brochures and online newsletters delivered to thousands of subscribers each month, writing and editing of pharmaceutical pamphlets and informational brochures for veterinary practices, writing and copyediting of small business statement-of-purpose mailings, writing and editing of office manuals, proofreading and editing of creative writing (prose and poetry) for submission to literary journals, copywriting and editing blog/Web content, and proofreading and editing of commercial magazine articles.

Articles we have edited regularly appear in Contemporary Bride magazine; creative works we have proofed and copyedited have appeared in many literary journals across the country, including Baltimore Review, The Cincinnati Review, Compass Rose, The Louisville Review, Nimrod International Journal of Poetry & Prose, Sanskrit, Stand, and Western Humanities Review; for an example of Web content we have copywritten and edited, check out www.WritersRelief.com and www.CrossFitACT.com.

We are meticulous with detail and pride ourselves on our comprehensive skill. No project is too great or too small. Please call or e-mail today for a personal one-on-one consultation specific to your needs.
