About

Karen Brandon

I am an independent editor, writer, journalist, and storyteller based in Oxford, England.

I have helped academic researchers around the world make their work more accessible and more impactful. I focus on helping them find ways to better tell their research story.

I have honed and polished academic and policy-oriented publications for researchers around the world.

I am a former journalist for the Chicago Tribune newspaper. I wrote about politics, public policy, and social trends – assignments that took me throughout the United States, and to many corners of the world, including Mexico and India. While at the Tribune, I was a member of journalistic teams that produced two Pulitzer Prize-finalist series, and I received the Overseas Press Club award for best foreign reporting.
