Welcome!
My name is Zoltán Sárkány,
I'm a freelance medical editor and writer.

I help scientists and academics communicate their
research more effectively and increase the quality
of their paper.

Services

Academic editing

I help medical researchers and academics deliver a clear, concise, impactful manuscript through developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading.

I take care not only of the basics, such as spelling, punctuation, and grammar, but also clarity, consistency, and flow. I have a deep understanding of the publishing process, and I use this expertise to help my clients reach their academic goals by increasing the quality of their paper and its chances of publication.

Coaching

Writing a scientific manuscript is like assembling a large puzzle.
I will help you identify the pieces and figure out which one goes where, so you can focus on your research.

My coaching program offers detailed guidance on how to tell a clear and coherent story. Organized in the form of in-person meetings and online drafting and revision phases, it focuses on structure, consistency, logic, accuracy, and style, making the writing process effortless and effective.

Medical writing

I craft highly focused, engaging scientific content for healthcare professionals, as well as easy to understand, empowering educational materials for patients and their families.

I take pride in my ability to research unfamiliar topics and present complex medical information to a wide range of audiences. I write training materials and guidebooks for healthcare professionals, and short- and long-form educational content for the lay public. Samples available on request.

About me

I have a passion for science, a PhD in medicine, and more than 14 years of experience in medical publishing.

I graduated in 2004 from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Târgu Mureș, Romania. During my student years, I developed an early interest for scientific research. After graduation, I joined a medical publisher, where that interest has turned into a passion.

Since 2015, I've worked as a language editor for several medical journals. My experience includes working with titles indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index of Web of Science, as well as editing manuscripts for Nature journals.
