I reached out to Jessica following work she had done for UCSF; her outstanding reputation preceded her. Jessica served as the writer for the JAMA Annual Report and my experience with her was seamless. She jumped confidently into the planning process and conducted interviews with numerous physician stakeholders. I was delighted when I received her first draft; she translated all our work as if she had been with us along the way. Jessica is a joy to work with, can bring in meticulous copy editors if needed, and never missed a deadline. I am glad to know her!
Jennifer ZeisDirector, JAMA Network Communications and Engagement
We've enlisted Jessica's editorial assistance on a variety of projects and have been consistently impressed with her professionalism and ability to quickly understand the content and context of our work. The range of projects has included text for web-based tools, high-profile reports, chapters of a text book, and profiles of community health efforts. She is prompt and thorough, asks great questions, and has a real knack for reshaping overly complicated ideas and passages.

Jessica is a consummate professional whose ability to translate challenging research into easy-to-understand narratives has helped us extensively at the Yale School of Public Health. As a freelance writer, Jessica is always a pleasure to work with. She accepts assignments with interest, conducts her own research, and delivers clean copy on time and at the proper length. Jessica would be a great addition to any communications/writing team.
Colin PoitrasSenior Communications Officer, Yale School of Public Health
Jessica Scully is one of the most reliable and talented freelance science writers I work with. Whenever I have a complex research story that needs to be explained in a relatable way for Findings magazine, the alumni publication for the University of Michigan School of Public Health, Jessica is always top of mind. Some of the research subjects she has tackled for Michigan Public Health include informal e-waste recycling in southeast Asia, noise pollution in Detroit and PFAS ("forever chemicals") exposure to firefighters and other workers. She takes direction well, makes deadline (and word count!) and can be trusted to work independently. I highly recommend Jessica for any science or research story for a broad audience.

She is one of our most trusted writers; Jessica delivers exceptional work on complex and often challenging topics on time and with open communication throughout the process.

Jessica was one of my best writers at Progress. From profiles of scientists to more in-depth topical pieces, her stories were thorough, highly readable, and didn't require much editing—an editor's dream. She handed in her work on time and responded to queries promptly, and was very easy to work with.
