Laura Wells

I'm currently supporting Department of Justice peer reviews at Leidos, editing consensus reports, technical documents, webinar transcripts, and more than 200 peer review reports annually. I also train and coordinate a 20+ person recorder team and facilitate virtual panel discussions that support transparent funding decisions.

Across Leidos and BETAH Associates, I've improved the clarity, accessibility, and style compliance of OJP, NIJ, and OVW grant-review materials. My work includes capturing consensus comments and scores, facilitating reviewer discussions, scheduling recorders, and maintaining quality control in remote-first workflows.

As a freelance editor and writer, I've researched, fact-checked, edited, and written web content, proposals, procedures, blogs, branded content, and ad copy. My edited small-business web content contributed to a 10–20% increase in web-driven traffic, and I've written features for Grunge and Inverse.com.

I've spent more than 10 years shaping high-quality content with AP, Chicago, and MLA style guidance. I bring a detail-driven approach to editorial operations, audience-centered writing, and reliable delivery under tight deadlines.
