#AD It's not easy being your own boss; juggling many roles. But having a self-hosted website is a breeze! I whole-heartedly recommend ChemiCloud.💙

They've looked after me and are always on hand.

100% error-free after a 1 edit or proofread is pure fiction. 🤓 Yes, most of us aim for perfection. But, it’s impossible for every slip to be caught, we’re only human, after all.

✅ My goal as your editor, is to ensure the story is the focus not distracting grammar or spelling.
