Technical & Academic Editing and Coaching
Specializing in helping academic and research authors whose native language is not English in their publishing and presentation goals. Scroll down for more details.
Paper & Article Editing
BWK Editorial Services offers specialized editing for non-native English-speaking researchers and academics wanting to refine their manuscripts to meet the highest academic standards. I have edited for many technology companies, such as Hitachi, Sony, NTT, and NEC, as well as academic and research institutions, such as The University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Waseda University, and Keio University.
I focus on the 4 C's, i.e., clarity, conciseness, cohesion (logical flow), and consistency. This involves clarifying complex ideas and jargon so your message reads smoothly; tightening phrasing to eliminate redundancy and improve readability; ensuring logical flow across sections and transitions; and standardizing terminology, formatting, and style to align with journal expectations.
I preserve your voice and scientific accuracy while improving grammar, punctuation, and adherence to publication guidelines. Fast turnaround, confidential handling, and tailored feedback help you submit stronger, more persuasive manuscripts with confidence.
Regarding AI: AI helps us write faster, but sometimes the result sounds stilted, flat, or just a little off. If you use AI to aid in your writing, I can ‘humanize’ your AI-generated text so it reads naturally, with authentic voice, clear flow, and the subtle human touches that resonate with readers.
The rate for professionals is ¥2,500 ($15 USD)/page (200 words) - or equivalent in your currency. Student rates are also available. Feel free to contact me for more details below.
Presentation & Writing Coaching
BWK Editorial Services offers tailored coaching for non-native English-speaking researchers and students online or on-site (Tokyo area only).
Presentation coaching aims to strengthen your presentation presence and polish slide design so you will be able to communicate with confidence, clarity, and impact. We will cover voice, pacing, body language, audience engagement, plus slide layout, visuals, and wording for maximum readability and persuasion.
Academic writing coaching will provide focused guidance on structuring manuscripts using the IMRaD framework and its variants. I’ll help you craft clear introductions and research questions, present methods with reproducible detail, organize results for logical flow, and write discussions that contextualize findings and address limitations. Sessions include practical best practices, e.g., concise scientific language, coherent paragraph structure, strong transitions, appropriate use of tables/figures, and effective abstracts, as well as common pitfalls to avoid such as overstated conclusions, unclear hypotheses, and inconsistent tense or terminology.
Coaching is personalized to your field, stage of work, and deadlines. Practical exercises, model examples, and revision checklists ensure improvements you can apply immediately to presentations and manuscripts. I have helped numerous researchers and academics in technology companies and academic institutions, such as Hitachi, NTT, The University of Tokyo, and Nagoya University, refine their presentations and papers to fit international standards
The rate for professionals is ¥8,500 ($50 USD)/hr, or equivalent in your currency, for one-to-one sessions. There are also one-to-one student rates. Feel free to contact me for more details below.
