How it works
A simple, considered process.
Three steps, with nothing assumed and the scope agreed before work begins.
Step 1: Tell us about your document.
Share what you are working on: the type of document, its approximate length, and any deadline you have in mind.
Step 2: Discuss the editing support you need.
We talk through the level of support that suits your document, any style guide you follow, and what matters most to you.
Step 3: Receive the agreed service.
Your document is edited according to the scope and timeline we have confirmed together before any work begins.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
If your question isn’t answered here, ask it in your enquiry and we will reply by email.
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading is a final check that corrects errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation and typography. Editing goes further, improving clarity, flow, word choice and consistency. If you are unsure which your document needs, describe it in your enquiry and we will suggest the right level of support.
Will editing change my meaning or voice?
No. We refine language and presentation while preserving your original meaning, arguments and voice. Where a sentence is ambiguous, we ask or leave a comment rather than guess at what you intended.
Do you write or rewrite academic work for clients?
No. We work on the text you have written. We do not write assessed work on your behalf, and we never alter your data, findings or conclusions. If your institution or publisher has rules about editing support, please check them; we will work within them.
Can you guarantee a grade or publication?
No one can honestly promise that. Decisions about grades, acceptance and publication rest with your institution, examiners or publisher. Our role is to help your work be communicated as clearly as possible.
How much does editing cost?
Every project is quoted individually, because the right level of support depends on your document, its length and your deadline. Tell us about your project and we will reply to discuss scope before any work begins.
Which referencing style can you work with?
Referencing support follows the style your institution or publisher requires. Please mention it in your enquiry, and we will agree it with you before work begins.
How do I send you my document?
Please do not paste your document into the enquiry form. Once we have discussed your project, we will agree how you can share it with us.
How long will it take?
Timelines are agreed for each project, based on the document and the support it needs. Include your preferred deadline in your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible before work begins.
