I proofread and copy edit dental journal manuscripts, clinical articles, and scientific papers where subject-matter accuracy matters as much as grammar.

I hold a BDS from the University of Manchester and practised clinical dentistry for 40 years across five countries. I also hold a Diploma in Proofreading and Copy Editing from the College of Media and Publishing (UK). That combination means I catch both the language errors and the clinical inaccuracies that generalist editors miss.

I edit in Microsoft Word using Track Changes so you can see and accept every modification

I follow your house style guide, or default to AMA/APA/Vancouver conventions

I flag clinical or factual concerns separately from language corrections

Turnaround is typically 48 hours for standard manuscripts (up to 10,000 words)

A clean, publication-ready manuscript with all changes tracked, a separate comments sheet flagging any clinical queries or inconsistencies, and a brief summary of the key issues found.
