Who I am
Pleased to meet you! I am a biologist and I earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Plant Physiology from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology/University of Potsdam (Potsdam, Germany) and a MSc in Plant Biodiversity and Environment from the Institute of Botany (São Paulo, Brazil). During my career, I have investigated how plants match carbon incorporation, use, and storage. More specifically, I have focused on the regulatory pathways involved in sugar sensing and signalling that control plant metabolism, growth, and development (using model, native, and crop species). As a researcher and author, I have published several articles and book chapters, and I’ve helped many colleagues do the same. The Covid-19 pandemic has turned my life upside down, and as a mother of two boys, I sought a better work-life balance. In 2021, I combined my passion for plant science (within and beyond my specialised field) and my proficient writing skills to fund in Press and become a scientific editor. I edit each client manuscript with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail that I dedicate to my own articles.
Why choose in Press?

Scientist to scientist collaboration
I know the challenges of communicating science effectively and the hurdles in publishing.

+ 15 years of experience in academia
With an extensive background in plant science (biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, molecular biology, analytical platforms, and omics technologies), I have worked at different institutions (private and public) throughout Brazil and Germany.
-
Skilled scientific writer and editor
I have published several articles in prestigious journals such as New Phytologist, Plant Physiology, Journal of Experimental Botany, and Frontiers in Plant Science. Furthermore, I have also helped a large number of colleagues (professors, researchers, and students) improve the quality of their papers and successfully publish them.
-
Fluent in Science and English
Professional oral and written English fluency in scientific contexts.
in Press offers first-class manuscript editing. In addition to grammar, punctuation, syntax, spelling, and terminology revision, your manuscript will be analysed in terms of cohesion, coherence, and consistency. I will focus on the finer points of style and on improving sentences that may sound confusing or unnatural. You will receive all of the suggested edits and comments in a ‘track changes’ version of your document, so you can see exactly what has been modified. These enhancements will contribute to the clearer, more precise, and successful communication of your research. I fully respect the work of my colleagues and clients. Therefore, the author has the final decision in choosing whether or not to accept each suggestion and in the final wording of the paper.
What is included?

Direct, ongoing communication with the editor throughout the course of the service

Editing certificate

Quality guarantee
My services are secure and confidential, and I guarantee client satisfaction. If your manuscript receives any negative comments from the reviewers because of the quality of the English, I will re-edit it at no additional charge, provided that no substantial changes have been made to the edited version before submission.
I also edit books, book chapters, grant proposals, and other scientific documents. If you are interested in other services (consulting or scientific writing training), please contact me here or at inpress.consultoria@gmail.com.
Pricing
I receive a wide variety of texts, some requiring only polishing and a few adjustments, while others require more extensive editing. As such, I prepare personalised quotes based on the length of the document (word count), the amount of work the text will require, and the client’s deadline. In the table below you can find a rough estimate of prices for editing services. You can pay by credit card (you will receive a link by e-mail) or by bank/wire transfer.
