“I have had the pleasure of working with Alison for a few years now, more closely since writing freelance for Elsevier Connect. Alison is an extraordinary editor. Every point of contact I have with her is a learning opportunity, and I'm sure my writing and editing skills improve with every article we work on together. Her feedback is direct and helpful and always gives me changes I can implement. Alison is remarkably knowledgeable – not just about language and writing but about a broad range of topics. She would be a brilliant dinner party guest (certainly at the top of my list if we're ever on the same continent!). ”

Want people to read your science stories? Don't forget the personal side
Falling Walls blog
See publicationAs an editor, I have a front-row view on which stories people read, share and engage with the most. They often have common traits, so when I advise contributors, I keep these elements in mind. A key element is to “make it personal.” There are many ways to do this depending on your topic, audience – and how much you want to reveal. And even if you prefer a more formal approach, there is a way to present your connection to your research that will help readers relate to it.
