Comment
I am originally from Canada and I am a native English speaker. After receiving my PhD and leaving academia, I worked for 3.5 years as an editor at a scientific and technical editing and writing company based in Japan. I have been a freelance editor for more than 10 years, working mainly on manuscripts related to genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. I am the first author of several manuscripts published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which demonstrates my familiarity with the process of publishing manuscripts and the expected writing standards. I am also a co-author of a book chapter and a review article. Additionally, I have been a peer reviewer for international scientific journals.

M.P, Ph.D. served as associate dean for academic and student affairs and senior associate dean in graduate schools at two premier research universities in the United States and he was the final authority on approving Ph.D. dissertations. For 14 years he was a professor of leadership, chairing 17 dissertations and serving on countless others so he fully understands the processes and challenges students face in completing their dissertations and he knows the most effective means in addressing such hurdles. He left university to form a dissertation consulting business that provided academic editing to doctoral students. In addition to grammar and spelling, he ensures that your written work has a compelling academic tone that is generally expected from years of practice. His students are from universities in the U.S., the U.K., Egypt, Kenya, Switzerland, and many other countries, so he has a talent for working with students from a variety of home countries.
