I am a professional scientific editor with over ten years of experience in preparing academic work for publication. I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Manchester (2009) and have held two postdoctoral appointments in Germany and China. I edit work for private customers, university research groups, and trade magazines, and I currently work as a freelance copy editor for several major peer-reviewed chemistry journals. My specialist areas based on my previous experience include analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, biocatalysis, biological chemistry, materials chemistry, organic synthesis, and peptide chemistry. I am also proficient in writing and have published several peer-reviewed journal articles as well as science-related online news articles. I appreciate the challenges faced by non-native-English-speaking authors attempting to publish their research to an international audience. I will help you to get the best out of your work, eliminating scientific errors and language ambiguities and bringing it up to the standard needed for publication in cutting-edge journals.
