Sara D. Hauber, M.A., has been a professional editor responsible for academic, medical, trade, and consumer publications since 1996 and an academic writing tutor and instructor since that same year.

Since 2009 she has specialized in scientific writing instruction and preparing manuscripts for peer-reviewed journal submission.

Sara's academic degrees include a B.A. in English, magna cum laude, from the University of Minnesota--Twin Cities, and an M.A. in Health Communication (minor in Research Methods) from Purdue University.
Now pursuing her PhD in Allied Health, Sara is still available on occasion for gold-standard manuscript editing or to teach you or your students how to write the right way.

Sara excels at applying the proper science, substance, and style to your manuscripts and teaching you how to do the same. She loves the process of research, the skill of editing, and the art of writing.

Sara's latest authored works are linked on her ORCID page.
A recipient of the prestigious Bilsland Strategic Initiatives Fellowship at Purdue, Sara has assisted with and/or led the development of competitive grant proposals, needs assessments, theory-based community programs, randomized controlled trials, and qualitative and quantitative data collection tools.

Her involvement in the planning, execution, analysis, and publication of research at both Research One universities and top-ranked medical centers gives her incredible insight and experience that most editors simply lack. Producing excellent work is her primary goal.
In that vein, Sara conducts her work in accordance with the European Science Foundation's Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, and it is her intent to solely work with clients/authors who do so as well. The full code of conduct can be found at this link (a PDF will open). She is a member of the American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) and she adheres to the AMWA Code of Ethics. She also adheres to the universal requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals, set forth by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). 
Sara has also founded Publication Matters LLC, whose mission is "To offer the best, most comprehensive instruction on essential writing skills and journal manuscript-writing skills so that healthcare practitioners at all levels of patient care and from all segments of the population have equal access to--and the proper training and confidence levels to engage in--the traditional modes of sharing evidence-based practice: publishing in peer-reviewed professional journals and presenting at professional conferences."
After more than 13 years in academic and scientific journal publishing, Sara has been disheartened by the many biases and prejudices inherent in the field. Her work with Publication Matters LLC is intended to increase equity and diversity in the field.
Sara exceeded my expectations. She was so helpful and made me feel comfortable when asking "silly" questions. I didn't expect the level of help that Sara provided, but I so appreciated it. Sara taught me...not just told me about my errors.
