English Style Edit

This is a light edit aimed at simply taking the words on the page and making sure each sentence is clear, correct, and follows academic conventions. This edit will enhance readability, but will not impact the overall structure of your paragraphs. This is the edit to choose if your paper or grant is already in quite good shape, and just needs some polish to really shine. The English Style Edit is currently offered at a promotional price of only $0.03 / word! Fall 2026 only!

Structural Edit

This edit includes the English style edit, but goes much deeper. We will read your manuscript with an eye for logic, flow, and narrative, and edit to improve the structure of the entire manuscript. This is the edit to choose if your paper or grant needs more serious work before it will truly shine. The Structural Edit is currently offered at a promotional price of only $0.05 / word! Fall 2026 only!

Translation and Interpretation

Firefly Garden recommends an accurate, human-only translation and interpretation service - Accent Perfect. Using both Accent Perfect and Firefly Garden Scientific Editing, you can translate your manuscript from the original language to English, edit your manuscript for academic style, flow, and clarity, as well as use an interpreter for virtual meetings with Firefly Garden to discuss edits to the manuscript. Contact me to learn more, and to potentially receive a discount for using both Accent Perfect and Firefly Garden.

Graph and figure style & formatting

Do you have graphs ready to go, but you don't have the time to turn them into clear, visually appealing figures? Do you have finished figures, but they're compiled by five different students in wildly clashing formats and styles? Did you change which journal you're aiming for, and now your figures need to be re-formatted? I can edit graphs and figures for cohesive style, color, clarity, and readability, turning your rough drafts into figures that are both eye-catching and publication-ready. Contact me for a quote on graph and figure style & formatting.

Other Academic Services

Firefly Garden Scientific Editing is also available for a variety of other related services, including document formatting, citation and fact checking, data analysis and visualization, and academic writing and drafting. Some services - particularly data analysis and draft writing - may merit authorship; in those cases, our agreement would involve a middle authorship as well as payment. I follow the ICMJE recommendations on scientific authorship, and I am selective in the labs I choose to work with for projects involving authorship. If you have a project you think I could help with, contact me for a free consultation and quote.

Firefly Garden Scientific Editing is human-only intelligence with no generative or LLM AI
