About Me

I’m a professional copy editor, proofreader, and Spanish-to-English translator with extensive experience in higher education and academic publishing.

I specialise in editing and translating research papers, journal articles, and other academic texts—particularly for publication in peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly journals. I’ve also worked on texts in a range of other fields, including the social sciences, law, and the arts. In addition, I offer high-quality transcription services, particularly for research interviews and academic projects requiring accurate, reliable English transcriptions.

Over the years, I’ve developed a strong command of major style guides such as APA, Chicago, and AMA, and I work closely with authors to ensure clarity, consistency, and precision in every project.

Testimonials

Thanks to Mark Byrne’s collaboration, I’ve been able to meet the strictest style requirements of top international scientific journals. His work is impeccable and meticulous. He provides honest delivery estimates and has the added advantage of having advised researchers from a range of disciplines, which means he’s well-versed in technical terminology and, of course, in standard scientific language. In short, a highly satisfactory professional and personal experience.

Profesor Titular de Marketing - Departamento de Economía de la Empresa de la UPCT

Mark Byrne has been an outstanding linguistic consultant for many years on all my terminology-related work in English. He is a true professional who pays close attention to both the wording and the context of each term. My experience with Mark has been very positive from the outset: he has consistently demonstrated expertise, professionalism, and diligence. His command of both English and Spanish makes him doubly effective, as he is able to grasp any context flawlessly in both languages—something not all native English speakers I’ve worked with have been able to offer.

Gemma Alonso

Mark Byrne’s work as an editor and reviewer of academic and scientific articles is excellent. He is highly reliable and professional, especially when it comes to meeting deadlines. His approachable manner makes it easy to clarify any doubts, and his command of Spanish has helped me adapt texts into English appropriately. I will definitely work with him again, given the great results his work has delivered.

Mark has been essential in reviewing my texts in English to ensure the most accurate and appropriate translation. He has an excellent command of English, but also of Spanish—which is key to finding the right expressions and refining ideas, whether in legal writing or general texts that need to be properly crafted. He is honest and hardworking, and our collaborations have always been thorough and highly detailed.

Pedro A. Colao Marín

Catedrático de Escuela Universitaria Departamento de Métodos Cuantitativos, Ciencias Jurídicas y Lenguas Modernas UPCT

I’ve hired Mark’s services twice for translation and editing, and I’ve been very pleased with the results. He doesn’t just ensure that the text is grammatically correct in English—he goes further, choosing the most appropriate option from among the possibilities. For example, when something is unclear, he offers several alternatives and explains the subtle differences between them. Highly recommended.
