An independent medical writer and editor of manuscripts to be submitted for publishing.

With 20 years in research, and 10 years editing experience. Every section, paragraph, sentence and word of your manuscript or grant is read and understood.

Editor and Proofreader

Editing texts to optimize  expression in the English language for a clearer logical presentation.

The road map

You cannot have too many people review your paper before a submission and my work will avoid much painful feedback. Just like a professional colleague reviewer improving your work from the point of view of the intended readership.

Your manuscript is considered from the potential viewpoints of specialized, and of more general, scientists.  Thus helping you convince the editors and reviewers and get ACCEPTED. You will be proud of the results.

Medical writer

In a Word manuscript with the ‘track changes’ feature enabled, I make all the simple, fundamental changes that I am experienced in seeing. The more proactive changes are marked with blue highlighting, and accompanying comments bubbles.

Background knowledge

Such broad experience makes me the perfect person to help give your science the recognition it deserves in high-impact journals.

Before becoming a freelance editor in 2015 I was a lecturer and PI at Newcastle University’s Institute of Genetic Medicine for two and a half years. Writing and gaining a Marie Curie fellowship whilst simultaneously publishing from my lab about neural splicing.

Biotechnology

Previously in France, from 2010-2012, working on splice regulation in stem cells and published in Nature Communications among other good journals.

Having gained data presentation skills as the scientific manager responsible for publishing results for a 10 Million dollar Genome Canada project. This commitment involved the analysis of genome-wide alternative splicing  in cancer.

With many first author publications including Nature Structural and Molecular Biology over three years there.

Scientific institutions  

My long scientific career commenced by working on alternative splicing as a control mechanism in spermatogenesis, in post docs in Newcastle and Edinburgh and a PhD from Leicester in 2000.
