Kristine Thornley

Freelance medical and scientific editing

I am a freelance copy editor, proofreader, and instructor based in Toronto with a specialty in medical and scientific editing. I have over 15 years of experience and an MSc in health communication. I also have a strong scientific background and a wealth of editing training to bring to your project.

Why do we need copy editors and proofreaders? Basically it is because we cannot be critical, unbiased readers of our own work. Having an impartial set of eyes pore over every paragraph, line, and word is an invaluable stage in the publishing process.

You know that any writing published under your name or your company’s name makes a huge impression on your current or prospective clients/customers or your peers. Any sloppy writing or factual errors that slip through can affect your credibility. It is much easier to correct these errors before publication with copy editing and proofreading than it is once your work has been released out into the world—where an unflattering publication may live on forever thanks to the internet.

Having your work professionally copy edited or proofread is well worth the time and expense to your reputation, image, and standing within the field.

Invest in your work and ensure that it is the best that it can be. Talk to me today about your project and let’s get started!
