Cactus Communications / Editage Will Provide Editing Services to Society for General Microbiology Authors

Cactus Communications, Inc. (CACTUS) a premier provider of English-language editing services through its internationally recognized brand, Editage, announces that they have formed an alliance with the Society for General Microbiology (SGM) Publishing Department.

SGM has placed information about language editing on its Information for Authors page. They have also installed the Editage applet, which enables authors to go through to the Editage website to have their manuscripts professionally edited prior to submission. Language polishing assists the author community in producing well-written manuscripts, and is especially helpful for the growing number of English-as-a-second language (ESL) authors, worldwide. CACTUS will offer three levels of service through the applet: Proofreading, Advanced Editing, and Premium Editing. The latter includes a variety of author support services which are especially attractive to ESL authors, including help with journal selection, language tips, and 365 days of free re-editing.
