Editing and proofreading

Are you looking for a medical writer with a scientific background to edit and proofread your medical, health or scientific content?

Many of my clients tell me that they hate editing. Well, I love it.

By editing and proofreading your content, I deliver clear, high-quality content that understands and engages your target audience. I love to take apart your messy, complex scientific terminology, jargon and language, and shape and polish it into something beautiful.

I love to distil complex medical research and scientific data into consumer- and patient-friendly language.

I turn complex medical research and scientific information into concise, easy-to-understand, engaging copy for any HCP audience. I'll also ensure that your Style Guide is adhered to, and if you don't have one, I will create one for your organisation and/or the project (and future projects).

I edit and proofread health, scientific and medical content for apps, books, blogs, CPD education modules, eBooks, eDetailers, grant proposals, journal manuscripts, manuals, newsletters, PhD theses, reports and more.

Do you need thesis editing?

As an academic editor, there are many errors that I spot and fix, including some aspects of scientific writing that you may not even be aware of, such as active language, Australian vs US style and when to use a hyphen or an em dash.

Please be aware that as an academic editor, my role is to find and replace errors and improve your thesis as much as possible while adhering to the ‘Guidelines for Editing Research Theses’, which means that I will edit (read: find and replace) and make suggestions in certain areas (read: this is where you will come in) but I won’t write it for you, and unfortunately, I can’t do the analysis for you.

Client feedback

"It was great to work with you and you added a lot of value in a short time. I would be very keen to work with you again. I will reach out when the next opportunity arises (highly likely will be a grant application)."

"Dear Melissa, I am so happy with what you did! Reads so much better now. More shiny and impressive now. Thank you so much."

"Thanks, Melissa - couldn't have done it without your help with the grant writing!"
