Language Editing/Polishing

I am a freelance English language editor, and I have edited thousands of STEM articles written by non-native English speakers since 2012. 

I can edit documents written in most word processors, including Word and Latex.

My clients are based all over the world, who are researchers in the following fields:

  • Astronomy & Astrophysics
  • Physics
  • Space Science & Robotics
  • Mathematics
  • Geophysics
  • Atmospheric & Earth Sciences
  • Environmental Sciences
  • Chemistry
  • Engineering & materials sciences
  • Remote sensing
  • Modelling techniques
  • Computing & computer technology
  • Informatics & Information technology

I help my clients improve their manuscripts to a publishable standard, who have published their work in the following international journals (non-exhaustive list):

Science Writing

Writing is in my blood, and in addition to my editing work, I am a freelance science writer, and since 2004 I have published popular science articles in the BBC's The Sky at Night Magazine, Astronomy Now, the Mercury Magazine, the Amateur Astronomy Magazine and Today's Science on File.

I have written about topics such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, the long-term stability of the solar system, Earth's moon and cosmology
