Research support
In the 10 years I have been involved in hiring contractors for various technical writing at Foresight, Linda has been the best writer I've worked with, both in terms of the quality of result she delivers and in terms of working style. She brings structure to projects whose scope is rather unclear, before launching a diligent research process that often uncovers new information that shapes the trajectory of the project. She hits deadlines, is kind, patient, reliable and a great communicator. Feel free to contact me for more info.

New projects
Open to new research collaborations
I take on a limited number of research and writing projects each year. If you're working on something at the intersection of AI safety, policy, or governance and need research support or a skilled technical writer, get in touch.
