Píšete něco anglicky s úmyslem, aby výsledek byl informativní, přesvědčivy a čtivý? Chcete, aby byl reprezentativní součástí Vašeho odkazu? Zásadní podmínkou je ve všech případech pečlivá jazyková revize.

Svěřením rukopisu kompetentnímu a zkušenému editorovi, jako třeba mně, mimojiné získáte:

vyšší šance, že bude váš článek přijat k publikaci rovnou či jen s drobnými připomínkami a nikoli po předchozím větším přepracování;
publikaci neobsahující chyby, nejasnosti a nedorozumění, která tak nebude zanechávat nevyhnutelný špatný dojem;
čtivější text přinášející vyšší hodnotu vašim čtenářům či zákazníkům;
lepší úroveň a vyšší důvěryhodnost coby jednotlivec, instituce nebo firma; a

Compose your manuscript

A good time to consider commissioning a professional language editor / reviser is when you have a complete draft manuscript in hand.

Have me revise it

Upon receiving your manuscript, I first highlight all of it, usually in yellow, and read through it start to finish, taking notes.

I then continue from the start of the Introduction by removing the highlight from sentences (or parts thereof) that I find good. With the tracking of changes enabled, I edit the entire manuscript until all yellow highlighting is gone, leaving the Abstract till last. This is the stage where I am most likely to ask you questions or seek clarification.

Afterwards I work with the piece as a whole to ensure consistency, readability and word economy. When I feel that the manuscript is ready, I send it to you.

Give me your feedback on the edits

Author feedback is an important part of the editing process. After going over all edits, suggestions and comments by the reviser, it is time to raise questions, criticisms, alternative suggestions and requests.

After all potential remaining issues are cleared up, it is always a good idea to let the reviser give a final once-over to the clean, finished manuscript.

Submit the finished manuscript to a journal

Now that your manuscript is up to scratch, you can submit it with confidence to your target journal.

Please don't forget to inform me about the reviewers' opinions and editor's decision.

Carry out your minor or major revision

A good time to consider commissioning a professional language editor / reviser after peer review is when your manuscript is deemed in need of editing by a native speaker, shortening, expanding or adjusting to suit the house style of the journal.

Have me go over the manuscript (again)

As always, upon receiving your manuscript, I first highlight all of it, usually in yellow, and read it through, taking notes.

Afterwards I work with the piece as a whole to ensure consistency, readability and word economy. When I feel that the manuscript is ready, I send it to you.

Give me your feedback on the edits

After all potential remaining issues are cleared up, it is always a good idea to let the reviser give a final once-over to the clean, nearly finished manuscript.

Skipping this step saves time but is usually not worth it, as

Submit the revised manuscript

Now that your manuscript is revised, it is time to submit it to the journal that had requested the revision or to a different one if it had been rejected by the first.

Please don't forget to inform me about the reviewers' opinions and editor's decision.
