As an author, you need an advocate to make your medical book or your research article for a medical journal the best it can be. I am that advocate; I am on your side. As a medical editor and a board-certified editor in the life sciences (through the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences), I have helped multilingual researchers in more than 20 nations get their articles published in more than 60 medical journals. If you are a multilingual author whose English is not fluent, I will work with you to remove the language barrier that can keep book publishers and medical journals from considering your manuscript. If English is one of your primary languages, I will help you ensure that you communicate your ideas as clearly as possible. Whether I am doing translation editing or English-language medical editing, I follow the preferences of your target journal and of the AMA Manual of Style. After you learn more on my website about how I work with authors, call or email me today so that you and I can discuss how I can help you.
I believe that the medical editing I do makes a difference in the world in two ways:
- It helps researchers communicate research findings that will enable other physicians to treat their patients more effectively
- It helps increase cross-cultural cooperation and communication one pair of people (an author and me) at a time
In addition to being a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, I am a member of ACES: The Society for Editing, American Medical Writers Association, the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences, the Council of Science Editors, and the World Association of Medical Editors.
I also belong to The Quad, a mastermind group of 7 experienced editors that has been active since 2015. We support each other in our work with online chats, annual retreats, and the sharing of information and techniques with one another.
I established and maintain the Copyeditors' Knowledge Base, which contains links to hundreds of editing tools, many editors' associations around the world, knowledge resources, businesses and other organizations that contract with editors, and more.

______________
Please note: I do not use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)—which includes large language models (LLMs)—in any way when evaluating or editing any author’s writing. In addition, I will not edit your project if you have used GenAI (including LLMs) in writing your manuscript, in translating your manuscript to English from another language, in compiling your manuscript's reference list, or in creating or modifying images for your manuscript. That is because I object to (1) the use of GenAI to replace the work of the human intellect; (2) the use of GenAI because it hallucinates reference lists, fabricates information, and manipulates images to show data that are not real; and (3) the use of GenAI because of its high environmental costs. I abide by the guidelines of COPE, the Committee on Publication Ethics.
