PhD (Pharmacology)
Natalie took on copyediting for the Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) from February to December 2023. She copyedited batches of AJGP manuscripts throughout the year, providing a fast and efficient service, and helped us get the journal back on schedule. Her organisation and attention to detail during this time was appreciated. The RACGP Publications team are very grateful to Natalie for her copyediting expertise and her efficiency.
Katrina Hudlass, Senior Editor | Publications, RACGP
Natalie is a brilliant copyeditor. She's professional, easy to work with and fantastic at her job. Her attention to detail is so sharp and her expertise is second to none. She brings out the best in the research, maximising the text's effectiveness every single time. As well as whipping every grammatical and syntactical problem into shape, Natalie also provides constructive criticism and advice to authors to guide them through best practice scientific writing and reporting. She has a perfect understanding of the academic writing process and spots flaws, gaps and inconsistencies in every part of a paper – nothing (and I mean nothing) will escape her attention! There is no question that our journal articles are better after Natalie has worked her magic on them. She is an exceptional copyeditor and an asset to any business, I'd recommend Natalie without hesitation or reservation.

This edit was very well done. It was thorough and complete with very few changes required. Your rewording to clarify the authors’ Italian English was some of the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
