About Academic Manuscript Editing
Clearing the Clutter, Letting Your Research Shine
Most days, you’ll find me with my ‘red sword’—ready to slash through messy drafts and help your research pop. I know how overwhelming academic writing can get. Research, classes, life—it’s a lot. That’s where I come in: to make your manuscript look and sound its best.
What I Actually Do
- I’m that extra pair of eyes every researcher needs, spotting typos and weird sentences you’re too close to notice.
- Editing isn’t just a grammar check—I dig deep for logical flow, clarity, and structure.
- If I see a gap or something that sounds off, I’ll comment like a strict supervisor.
- I take plagiarism reduction for research papers seriously, rewriting and rewording as needed.
- If you need your word count down, I can be pretty ruthless—sometimes cutting 30-40% for a tighter, clearer result.
Journal Ready, Not Just Proofread
- I format everything for your target journal: references, figures, tables, the works.
- Cover letter? I draft it for you.
- Stuck after reviewer comments? I’ll help edit your response so you nail the revisions.
- Unsure where to submit? I’ll suggest journal options.
How I Work
- Free sample edit (100 words) to show you what I do.
- 2-day turnaround for 5000 words. No dragging things out.
- We can chat as much as needed—unlimited clarifications.
- You get a tracked-changes doc, every edit marked and explained.
You’ve done the hard science. I’ll make sure your words do it justice.

My Story
People look at me and think, ah, perfect life. Ha! If only. I’ve walked through messes—unfinished PhD, toddler on hip, marriage unraveling. Missed my kid’s first birthday for a scholarship in Germany. Hard, yeah. Now I’m a mom, a scientist, a survivor, and always wondering, 'What else am I?' Life’s wild. You gotta keep finding yourself, right?
