“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug”—Mark Twain

Perfect your technical writing by hiring an experienced academic! In addition to holding a Ph.D. in physics, I have over ten years of experience as a scientific editor, professional researcher, and university professor. All our associate editors have similar qualifications.

Whether you're writing a journal article, technical report, or funding proposal, the success of your document depends on its legibility. If English is a secondary language for you, or the craft of writing doesn’t interest you, then your prose may present a barrier to the reader even if it is grammatically correct. My goal as your editor is to improve grammar, sentence structure, and word choice to the point where reading it is effortless. Correcting the grammar is not enough! I guarantee a fluent, native English style in the final product, while preserving your personal touch.

Many editors can do this for you, but few are also professional researchers. When you have your document edited by someone used to the language of quantitative science, you also gain a critical evaluation of the more technical aspects of your work: data presentation, clarity of figures and derivations, statistical analysis, and structural issues common to scientific writing. By addressing the points raised in technical editing before submitting your article, you can dramatically speed up the process of peer review.

French authors may also be interested in my direct translation service. For an extra charge I can also format your document and bibliography in any of the common academic styles.
