ABOUT RDP Editorial

ReneePessin_RDPEditorial.png

Renee Bronner Pessin
Owner and Principal Editor

At RDP Editorial, we are experienced in editing for scientific, medical or technical writing including manuscripts and grant proposals prior to submission or following peer review.

With twenty years of experience in the field, including work with ESL (English as a Second Language) authors, we’ve developed a comprehensive understanding of varied NIH grant mechanisms such as complex R, T, P and U mechanisms. We are highly proficient in coordinating and organizing multiple moving parts (e.g., editing/writing and project management for P30, U54 mechanisms) of various projects.  

 

Our highly detailed and individualized editorial approach starts with wording and phrasing of individual sentences and spans the entire structure and style of the document. We consider the target audience — reviewers and future readers alike — and edit the entire document according to provided guidelines. We accurately and consistently edit for grammar and usage. Our work is always polished, proofread, and well prepared. For grants, we understand the various documents that are required. 

​

We look forward to working with you.

​

You may submit your articles or grant proposal/RFA or questions on our Contact Us page. We keep all submissions strictly confidential.
