Kathryn West

I am a copyeditor with 18 years of experience in the medical editing and publishing field. I have served as a journal manager for Elsevier working on the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and journal production editor for Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins on the Journal of Orthopedic Trauma and Spine, to name a few. In those roles, I supervised monthly and bi-monthly journals from submission of manuscript to publication. I have also been a freelance copyeditor working on a wide range of medical titles and manuscripts since 2003. I have edited for Journal of Immunology, Diabetes, Diabetes Care, Journal of Cell Biology, Endocrinology, Endocrine Reviews, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Journal of the Endocrine Society, and the American Society of Clinical Oncology Educational Book. I have also in the past worked on correcting and streamlining web content for the Nursing program at Rutgers-Camden, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in English. I am deadline-driven and a perfectionist who truly enjoys reading and correcting just about anything. My rate is negotiable, and I can work with just about any content if you need my expertise and help making it read (and sound) better or impress a professor, employer, peer reviewer, you name it. Get in touch with me and we can talk about what you need.
