Helping researchers and teams cut through complexity and
Make Real Impact
I help researchers, academics, and innovation-driven teams communicate better, secure funding, and streamline their work through scalable, high-impact services. My offerings are designed to maximize impact while minimizing wasted time, with a strong focus on clarity, structure, and long-term success.
New!
This framework is designed to help entrepreneurs and researchers craft a compelling NSF SBIR Project Pitch for a Phase I application. Each section is designed to help you write the best responses to the four critical questions regarding your Technology Innovation, Technical Objectives and Challenges, Market Opportunity, and Company and Team. You only have 1,750-3,500 characters per question to make your point, so follow this framework to make every character count!
By the end of this program, you will have a fully-drafted NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR Project Pitch containing all of the necessary information that will present the best version of your project to the reviewers.
You will also get 20% off the Grant Copyedit and Review Service and the full cost of this framework deducted from the Premium Grant Service if you choose to work with me to write your full Phase I Proposal!

Testimonials
Louise has a strong understanding of grant opportunities (both in the UK and the US) and a talent for communicating the information funding bodies are looking for. Her ability to transform text into more than a sum of its parts allows her to draft persuasive applications that communicate projects in a way that assessors/reviewers respond well to. With extensive technical and subject matter expertise, Louise quickly grasps project concepts and asks meaningful questions to bring depth to her information collection. She is thorough and approachable when interacting with clients and willing to go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.
Laura M., Denmark
Louise's editing skills helped me fine tune my writing. She was incredibly helpful in communicating where my work could be improved as well as a very professional academic approach. She is a valuable asset to any team, and a person I'd be proud to work with on future projects.
Liz G., Oregon
I received a little booklet to republish. It was old and although it was printed it was written on an old-fashioned typewriter. Louise redid the whole thing with very well done computer graphics. It was a real pleasure to look at compared with the scruffy thing she redid.
Antony Phillips, Denmark
When I graduated from graduate school, I had many potential career options and felt lost in terms of how I could play to my strengths and have a long lasting career. I went to Louise for advice and found her to be very helpful and professional. She helped me align my career goals to potential jobs and gave excellent advice on how to reach my full potential. I greatly appreciate her insight and assistance. Now, I feel confident in my ability to navigate my career and advocate for myself.
Colton Starcher, Taiwan
Dr. Pay edited my Chinese graduate student’s 300+ page PhD thesis for English grammar. I cannot rave enough about her excellent and timely work! Her edits were spot on and a real time saver for me, the thesis mentor who otherwise would have been responsible for making these grammar edits. An immense advantage of having Dr. Pay edit medical writing is because she holds a PhD in medical sciences herself, thus possessing in depth knowledge of medical terminology and understanding of the biology discussed in the thesis. Only rarely did we need to slightly change something due to a misunderstanding of meaning or word usage specific to our field that she cannot be faulted for not knowing. In addition to her excellent editing, she was incredibly prompt, completing the entire thesis in less than one month while working on other jobs simultaneously. She was extremely easy to communicate with, answers emails quickly, and has an innate affinity for the written word. She loves her work and puts a touch of herself in the product she produces. I will be a return customer the next time we have documents that require editing. Thank you, Louise!
