  • "Kat has quickly become our go-to expert for manuscripts and scientific writing. She rapidly understands project objectives, requiring minimal direction, and consistently delivers high-quality, publication-ready work. Beyond writing, she brings valuable insights, emphasizing key findings and clinical implications to strengthen the overall message. Her work is polished, requiring little to no revision, making it a powerful representation of our solutions. Reliable, efficient, and always on time and within budget, Kat is an invaluable partner in our communication efforts."

  • "Kat Sippel exceeds all expectations for science writing support, especially for federal grant proposals of any length or complexity. I can say without exaggeration that she was hugely responsible for the success of a U54 (>1000 page, multi-component) grant I submitted to the NIH a few years ago. In addition to improving the writing and presentation, she was meticulous in paying attention to all the myriad requirements and nuances of the RFA, sticking to deadlines, chasing down letters and documents from numerous co-investigators, drafting letters of support, and even helping with budget justifications. In short, she functioned practically like a co-PI in her dedication to delivering an outstanding and comprehensively researched product. On top of all this, she is infinitely patient and very hard-working – she is completely invested in your success. A total joy to have on your team in the stressful process of putting together a top-flight grant proposal. I cannot say enough about this wonderful person – “science writer” does not begin to describe the scope of her talents and efforts.

  • "Thank you so much for the excellent job you did editing this proposal. You did amazing work as always. I really appreciate that you got rid of so many abbreviations. Also, it was very useful for me to see how you were able to change the tense in many places from passive to active voice. It makes a huge difference!!!"

    Professor, Epidemiology and Population Science, Baylor College of Medicine

  • "I want to thank you again for your help during my previous K99 submission! I got an impact score of [redacted for privacy], and it will likely be funded according to the program officer. I am sure none of these will happen without your input." [The grant was funded.]

    Assistant Professor, Center for Genomic and Precision Medicine, Texas A&M University Institute of Biosciences and Technology

  • "First, I am wondering how did I miss your wonderful existence for so many years! You have been amazing." "This was a masterful job!"
