Gail W. Pieper

Introduction

At Argonne National Laboratory, I am MCS coordinator of writing and editing. My current professional activities include book editing, proposal writing, and preparation of press releases and other PR material. Previous projects included managing editor of the Journal of Automated Reasoning and technical editor of the Association for Automated Reasoning newsletter. I continue to assist the AAR president in preparing his periodic column.

Until 2011, I was also an adjunct professor at Benedictine University, where I taught classes in editing, research writing for the biological sciences, and literature of the ancient Mediterranean world. My current involvement focuses on copyediting books and dissertations for Ben U students and faculty.
