Hi all,

I wanted to let you know about a new proofreading service (HD Proofing), specialising in scientific and medical materials, that I've set up with a friend and colleague.

As a scientist and communicator myself, I know exactly how frustrating it can be for a document to be rejected based on silly grammatical errors - be that a manuscript or an article pitch. I also know how easy it is for tired eyes to miss those silly grammatical errors and typos. I know I don't need to preach to the converted - all communicators know the value of a good proofing - but in my experience it can be tricky to find companies that are tuned into scientific jargon and fully aware of specifications and needs for different outlets. That's where we've tried to make HD Proofing different:

• We are experienced and qualified in scientific writing - so we proofread with a good grounding in these principles (as with many of you here on the list, I studied the MSc Science Communication at Imperial a few years back)
  
• We have professionally proofread for many years as part of our previous jobs
  
• We have experience of writing and editing for varied outlets, and know the importance of tailoring content, spelling, referencing systems and tone
  

We explain a lot more about the different services we have on offer on our website (www.hdproofing.co.uk) so I won't jabber on too much here. If you are in need of a scientifically-geared proofreading company though, we recommend you check us out. We've got a few 'refer a friend' schemes coming up as well, so if you wouldn't mind spreading the word, we'd be much obliged, and you'd get some discounted proof-reading! It's win win!

If you want to have a chat about how we can help you just drop me an email ([log in to unmask]).

Thanks all!

Daisy, HD Proofing
