Medical & Scientific Editing

I provide medical and scientific editing of journal articles, textbooks, clinical trial protocols and regulatory documents, etc., following the AMA Manual of Style, NLM Style Guide, CSE Manual, or your required style guide or in-house stylebook. You might know this as proofreading, quality control (QC’ing), or copyediting.

Recent projects of mine include editing research manuscripts for publication in peer review medical journals, genetic medicines clinical trial protocols for submission to the FDA (US), EMA (EU), and PMDA (Japan), and a patient safety manual for medical practices.

Copyediting & Proofreading

As your copyeditor, my concern is for clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness.

I provide copyediting of American English following The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary and copyediting of British English following the New Oxford Style Manual and the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors, though I will follow whichever style guide you require.

Design services

I provide graphic design of visual and graphical abstracts, preparation of figures for publication in medical and scientific journals, and design of scientific posters for academic symposia.

I take your draft design and create a visually appealing, journal-specific graphical representations of your research. If you choose me to copyedit your paper, I’d be the perfect choice to carry your ideas into the visual realm.
