Scientific advisor, writer and editor supporting life scientists
From manuscribe.com.au to ManuScribes.com
My name is Emmanuelle Botte, I am a scientific advisor, writer and editor. After my PhD, I worked as a microbial ecologist for 13 years in Australia. I have published 26 articles in 15 different journals, including as first author in Nature Communications. In 2023, I launched Manuscribe to help scientists communicate their findings in the most compelling fashion. Since then, I've worked on dozens of projects with scientists from around the world.
Manuscribe.com.au became ManuScribes.com in 2025, when I moved to France after 19 years in Australia.
On a daily basis, I help PIs to reduce their ever-growing pile of papers, and students to improve their writing skills; I advise on publication strategy and how to best "sell" your work to journal editors or grant reviewers. I always provide detailed comments to justify the edits I suggest, but also to pass-on my skills, which is especially important with early-career scientists.
At a time when generative AI is profoundly transforming our societies, including science and teaching, I contribute to ensuring that the younger generations keep writing!
