Accurate Professional Academic Editing Services

All our editors are highly qualified and experienced professional academic editors, capable of working across various fields. However, we always endeavour to match clients’ documents with the most suitable editor—one with experience in the same general field. This policy is particularly valuable for longer, complex documents written by academics and postgraduates. 

Training in deep editing enables the editor to develop a sophisticated understanding of any material, ensuring that they do not unintentionally alter the author’s voice or meaning, or overlook errors that might not be apparent. All editing is tracked in Microsoft Word. Track Changes is a built-in feature in Microsoft Word which allows you to see the changes that were made to the document. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to view, accept or reject changes.

No, we do not provide free sample editing. However, if you would like to try our service before submitting your full document for editing, you are welcome to purchase a few pages for editing from our shop. When you submit the full document, we can then subtract the amount paid for the sample. 

The reason that we do not provide free sample editing is twofold. First, as professional academic editors, we are committed to upholding and protecting the standards of the industry. Industry associations discourage professional editors from performing any work free of charge.

Second, the exceptional standard of our work is a reflection of the qualifications and experience of our editors and of our overarching focus on quality. Our detailed editing examples demonstrate what you can expect from your editor and are a reliable alternative to free sample editing.

Absolutely. It is a common misconception that editing is not encouraged by universities. Universities do prefer theses to have the benefit of academic editing.

Universities also often provide funding to their postgraduate research students specifically for academic editing, and many supervisors require that PhD and Master’s candidates whose first language is not English have their thesis edited before submission. After all, it is in the universities’ best interests that the work of their students be presented in the best possible light.
