Services

Support at every step toward publication.

Whether you need a final safeguard before submission or hands-on help shaping a manuscript, I bring the standards of an active researcher to your work — rigorous, confidential and grounded in real publishing experience.

Publication quality assurance

A thorough pre-submission review of your manuscript as a whole — so nothing undermines it in peer review.

  • Consistency of data, figures, tables and text
  • Claims checked against the evidence presented
  • Methods, reporting standards and completeness

Source & reference checking

Verification that your citations genuinely support your statements — a frequent and costly source of reviewer criticism.

  • Each citation matched to the claim it supports
  • Accuracy and completeness of references
  • Detection of misattributions and outdated sources

Scientific editing

Clear, correct scientific English that reads well to international reviewers — without ever distorting your meaning.

  • Language, grammar and scientific style
  • Structure, flow and logical argument
  • Concise, precise phrasing of complex findings

Editorial writing support

Hands-on help shaping manuscripts, reviews and grant applications — from outline to a submission-ready draft.

  • Structuring and drafting of manuscripts
  • Reviews, grant proposals and cover letters
  • Structured responses to reviewer comments

Who I work with

Researchers, groups and institutes across the life sciences, as well as biotech and pharma teams who need their scientific writing to meet international standards.

From PhD students preparing a first paper to senior labs polishing a high-impact submission — work is always handled confidentially.

Confidentiality

Your enquiry stays between us.

Unpublished research is sensitive. Every enquiry is treated in strict confidence, and before any documents change hands we put a non-disclosure agreement in place.

  • NDA before the first document

    Before you send me manuscripts, data or unpublished results, we sign a confidentiality agreement. Your template or mine, whichever you prefer.

  • Nothing passed to third parties

    I do the work myself, with no subcontractors. Even the fact that we work together stays between us if you prefer it that way.

  • Deleted when the project ends

    Your files sit encrypted on machines in Germany. Once we are done, I delete them whenever you ask me to.

Tell me about your project.

Every manuscript is different — describe yours and I'll suggest how I can help.
