Expert English editing and proofreading services
Hi,
I'm Cecilia Hughes
Expert English Editor and Proofreader specialised in
Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine
with 10+ Years of Professional Experience.
After graduating as an engineer (Trinity College Dublin, INSA-Lyon), I worked as an R&D engineer in both the private and public (university, hospital) sector. I obtained my PhD in medical image processing and significant experience in the fields of science, technology and medical engineering. During this period, I used my training and bilingualism (English/French) to carry out editing and proofreading work, accumulating more than 10 years experience. I now work exclusively as a freelance English editor and proofreader specialised in science, technology, engineering and medicine.
Services
The expert English editing and proofreading of your document involves a detailed critical review of your work in order to ensure that the subject is clear and convincing and that the text is accurate, coherent and logical.
To improve readability, sections are rewritten, sentences are simplified, spelling, grammar and punctuation are corrected and the formatting is verified.
The editing of your document will enable reviewers and editors to concentrate on the evaluation of your work and will therefore increase your chances of publishing and obtaining funding. High quality writing guarantees that your professionalism and expertise are conveyed in both the public and private sector.
01
Scientific articles
Conference submissions
Manuscripts (PhD, HDR)
02
Project proposals
Funding requests
Grant applications (ANR, ERC)

Your document will be returned with edited changes and comments tracked in Microsoft Word.
The editing of your document is generally completed within 5-10 working days. Shorter deadlines are possible, upon request and with a surcharge.
Source documents can be accepted in French to be translated into English.
