A medical editor is a valuable asset for health and biotech startups because clear, precise communication is crucial to their success. Whether you’re pitching to investors, collaborating with partners, or publishing breakthrough research, poorly written or unclear documents can cost you valuable time, create confusion, and jeopardize opportunities. With a specialized medical editor, you’ll ensure that your complex data is not only accurate but presented in a way that resonates with everyone—whether it's investors, regulators, or potential partners—helping you build credibility, secure funding, and drive your innovation forward faster.

There is no limit to the number of editing requests in your queue. You decide which request to prioritize, and they will be delivered one by one.

Compared to the traditional avenues for editing services outlined below, our pricing model offers significant time and money savings.

In-house editor: This is likely your most expensive option. On top of a competitive salary, in-house editors typically come with additional expenses, such as employer-paid benefits and tax responsibilities. Our pricing model avoids the overhead costs and, for most businesses, is an eligible tax write-off.
PubReady advantage: Significant cost savings.

Traditional editing agencies: These companies charge on a per-word basis, which requires quoting for each individual project. Because their editors are typically paid a small percentage of the quoted price, the quality of the work tends to be highly variable. Additionally, these companies often offer "add-ons," such as expedited turnarounds or additional rounds of editing, which each come with their own fees.
PubReady advantage: No time spent on quotes; consistent, high-quality results; no hidden fees.

Freelance editor: As with traditional editing agencies, freelancers typically quote on a per-word or per-project basis, and add-on services often incur additional fees.
PubReady advantage: No time spent on quotes; consistent, high-quality results; no hidden fees.

Here are some typical turnaround times based on document length. Please note that these times are not guaranteed and may fluctuate depending on the level of editing required.

• <5000 words: 2-3 business days

• 5000-10,000 words: 3-5 business days

• >10,000 words: 4+ business days

Rather than clogging up your inbox or relying on complicated CRMs, PubReady uses Trello for sharing documents. Trello is a web-based project management tool that is free to use. When you become a PubReady member, we will create a ready-to-go Trello board for your company and invite you to join. All you need to do is create a free Trello account and login to start uploading requests.

After purchasing your PubReady membership, you will receive an email invitation to join your Trello board within 1 business day.

Microsoft Word files are preferred, but Google Docs are also accepted.

For presentations, Microsoft Powerpoint files are preferred.

If you require a different file type, let us know and we will find a solution.

You will receive a thorough edit for language, spelling, and grammar as well as structural editing to enhance readability, clarity, and flow. This includes flagging unclear text, suggesting possible alternatives, ensuring smooth and logical transitions, etc.

Stylistic changes will largely be avoided to preserve the author's voice unless they significantly improve the readability of the text.

Files will be edited using the Track Changes tool and may contain comments if clarification is required.

Please note that an edit is not a rewrite; if significant rewriting is required, this will be communicated in the form of comments throughout the document.

Yes, formatting is included with all plans.

If you would like journal-specific formatting for your manuscript, please provide the target journal in the description box when uploading your manuscript.

For consistent in-house formatting, please provide a style guide.

The best service is provided by those with the most to lose. That's why as a PubReady member you will be working directly with me, the founder of PubReady. Check out the About page to learn more about my experience.

No, your documents are strictly confidential and will not be uploaded to an AI server. All your work is edited by a real human with both research and medical editing experience.

We understand that you may not have enough editing work to fill up an entire month. That's where pausing your membership comes in handy.

Our memberships are based on a 31-day term. Let's say you use the service for 20 days, and then decide to pause your membership. This means that the billing cycle will be paused and you'll have 11 days of service remaining to be used at anytime in the future. These days never expire, so you can reactivate your membership whenever it suits your needs.

Cancelations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Therefore, if you decide to cancel your membership after 20 days, you will continue to have access to editing services for the remaining 11 days of the billing cycle. At the end of the billing cycle, your membership will not be renewed and you will lose access to your Trello board.

No problem! After receiving your edited file, simply pause your membership until you have additional editing needs.

We specialize in life and health sciences. If you are unsure whether your work is a good fit, book a 30-minute info call and we can discuss.

New members will be able to request a refund within 72 hours of receiving their first edited file by emailing hello@pubreadyscience.com. We must receive your request within 72 hours of your first edited file being uploaded to your Trello board. This is to give you a risk-free opportunity to experience the quality of the service and ensure your satisfaction. There will be no extensions to the refund window.

After the refund window has closed, you can still pause or cancel your membership at any time.
