What we do

Careful editing that keeps your voice

Academic writing has its own demands. A thesis needs a clear line of argument, a journal article needs precise sentences, and a book chapter needs a steady, readable style. We help you meet those demands without changing what you mean.

Our editors work through your document line by line. We correct grammar and punctuation, improve flow, check that headings and key terms stay consistent, and flag anything that needs your decision. You stay in control of every change.

Individual tasks performed

  • Line-by-line correction of grammar, spelling and punctuation
  • Checking subject terms and organising headings
  • Tracked changes with margin comments
  • Following your manuscript formatting guidelines

Every change appears as a tracked change in Microsoft Word. You can accept, reject or reply to each one, and you receive a clean copy with all changes accepted.
