Scientific and Medical Editing Service
My name is Jim Hesson. I am a freelance writer and certified editor of medical and scientific manuscripts. I am passionate about science and writing, and I enjoy helping authors tell their best research story. I edit a wide variety of manuscripts. Whatever type of text you are writing, I look forward to serving you. ​​​
Because your research provides invaluable data and insights that drive innovation in your field of study, it deserves to be published and read widely. Writing a clear, compelling research story will make your manuscript memorable to readers and help you get published so that your research and findings reach the widest possible audience and have maximum effect in the world.
Yet writing a scientific manuscript can be a challenging task. A professional editor like myself can help you through every step in the process by pointing out issues you may not have noticed and by suggesting changes that clarify and improve your message, and ultimately by delivering a clear, coherent, error-free, publication-ready manuscript. For a detailed list of the ways I can serve you as an editor, check out my FAQs page.
