She has the grit to drill down into the material so that nothing is taken for granted. She also demonstrates an intuitive skill to help add an overarching structure to the work that helps expand its scope, further increasing the book’s accessibility to those audiences we wish to reach.

SHANNON WILKINS – PhD in Professional Writing (medical communication emphasis) Shannon is not accepting submissions until April 1, 2012 Before focusing her energies on a freelance editing career, Shannon was a staff editor at Mayo Clinic, which has the largest in-house editorial service at a medical institution. In this role, she edited whatever manuscript came down the pike, whether it was about cardiology or dermatology. Such demands required her to be nimble in her approach to editing and to have a firm grasp of the medical resources necessary to assist authors in creating credible, cohesive documents. In her dissertation, she analyzed the arguments regarding the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Besides providing an understanding of the nexus between public discourse and science, the PhD degree nurtured in Shannon a strong sense of what belongs in a scientific document and what does not. Added to this scholarly knowledge is the practical experience of being the copyeditor of the Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics for 5 years. During the past 8 years, Shannon has balanced her time between editing scientific documents and teaching college composition courses. She currently teaches a college course in technical communication. As Shannon follows the rhythm of an author’s language, she picks up the language of ESL writers that might need further clarity or the odd detail that seems out of place and needs to be researched. Her first clients were biomedical engineers whom she assisted in preparing their manuscripts for successful publication. Since her entry into the field of editing, she has edited manuscripts on pharmacology, dermatology, cardiology, echocardiography, endocrinology, transplantation, hand surgery, asthma, various cancers, and other topics. Shannon has edited manuscripts that have been published in several highly respected journals: Biomedical Microdevices Shannon considers all of the documents that she edits to be life documents—documents that are pivotal in the development of one’s life. Medical manuscripts are not just write-ups of research; they are documents that affect the career advancement of the writers and, often, the very lives of those in need of medical care. Various impediments may complicate journal acceptance of a manuscript, but the quality of expression should not be one of them. |
