About Sylvie

Doctor of molecular biology and communication graduate, I put my professional experience (over 20 years), from academic research, the private sector and communication, at the service of my clients in the fields of scientific writing and scientific editing. Writing articles, books, communication documents, web pages, workshop and conference summaries, etc.; and concerning editing, coordination of editorial projects, proofreading/rewriting and corrections of all types of texts. I also offer the organization and facilitation of strategic positioning workshops on a given theme, or support for writing books.

My preferred scientific fields are food, agriculture and agro-environment, biodiversity, health related to food, biotechnology, genetics, biological sciences in general, and social sciences around these themes.

According to my clients, I am open, responsive, reliable, rigorous, dynamic... I'll stop there!

In recent years, my clients have mainly come from the regional research community in Agriculture / Food / Biodiversity / Environment of Agropolis International in Montpellier (namely Cirad, IRD, Unesco Chair World Food Systems, Inra, Agropolis Fondation, Agropolis International, etc.), but also from the world of scientific publishing (EDP Sciences for the journal Natures, Sciences, Sociétés, Springer Verlag).
I can work from documents in English or German.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any proposal, we will discuss it. The displayed price is only indicative. In reality, my pricing conditions will adapt to the complexity and diversity of the tasks you entrust to me, as well as to the deadline!
