I will edit your scientific manuscript or grant proposal
PhD Chemist, Scientific Editor and Science Writer
I'm Leighton Jones, PhD (University of Leeds), a former postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern with Profs. George Schatz and Mark Ratner, and a co-author with Tobin Marks and Nobel laureate Sir Frase...
About this Gig
I'm a PhD chemist with 65+ peer-reviewed papers (2,800+ citations) in journals including JACS, Angewandte Chemie, Joule and Nature Catalysis. I edit, proof-read, reference and fact check manuscripts, grant proposals and technical documents so you can focus on the science.
What I edit:
- Journal manuscripts, reviews, letters and responses to reviewers
- Grant and fellowship proposals (your completed draft)
- Technical reports, SOPs and conference abstracts
Fields: all chemistry, materials science, catalysis, organic synthesis, electronics, OPVs, computational chemistry and physical sciences.
You get tracked changes in Word/PDF/Google Docs, a short summary of key issues, and terminology checked and tone optimized. Your ideas, data and conclusions stay yours.
How I work: manual editing, with every change reviewed by me. If you have a preference for me to either use or exclude the use of AI tools, choose that in the requirements.
Message me first if it's long or urgent.

FAQ
Do you write papers or proposals for me?
No. Fiverr's rules don't allow writing academic work for submission. However, I can edit and proofread work you wrote, comment on structure and argument, check references and formatting, and help you respond to reviewers.
Will you change my scientific content?
I fix language, clarity, terminology and consistency. Where the science looks unclear or inconsistent, I add a comment for you to decide on rather than changing it.
Do you use AI tools?
I can use AI-assisted editing if desired, with every change always reviewed by me. If you choose "Yes, exclude AI tools" in the requirements, I edit without them.
Which fields do you cover?
Chemistry and materials science in depth (synthesis, catalysis, organic electronics, photovoltaics, computational chemistry), plus closely related physics and engineering topics. Ask if you're unsure.
Can you guarantee journal acceptance or grant funding?
No one honestly can. I make your writing clearer and more consistent so reviewers can judge the science on its merits.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Your files are used only for your order and never shared with other people. If you need them kept out of AI tools entirely, choose that in the requirements. If you prefer AI tools, I use them in a private mode so your files aren't used for training.
