Professional editing can ensure that your research and ideas are valued and assessed on their merits, and not dismissed by reviewers because of errors in presentation.
We can save you time by formatting references to any style, and by formatting your document (including tables and figures) to the specific requirements of any journal. We can also change Australian English to British or American English. This also means you don't need to waste your time re-writing and re-formatting the document if you resubmit elsewhere.
As former academics ourselves, we know that sometimes you can work on a document for so long that you can't really see it clearly anymore, and that's when mistakes can creep in, such as forgetting to substantiate a claim, or missing out a step in a logical argument. If your paper has issues like these, peer reviewers will be quick to pounce! As part of our service, we'll identify and flag any problems of this nature so you can deal with them before submitting your work, saving you time and hassle.
Single author. Writing a manuscript is a time consuming process. Few academic publishers offer a full professional edit these days, but we can take some of the hard work away by removing imperfections, such as typos, errors in spelling and grammar, unnecessary repetition, inconsistency of tone. This will save time with your publisher and potentially bring the publication date forward.
Multiple authors. If your book is by more than more than one author, you might want to iron out inconsistencies of writing style, or have particular terminology that you want to use throughout the book. We can ensure that the book reads as a coherent whole, and will pay special attention to any particular concerns you have about consistency of style and vocabulary.
Textbooks. Today's textbooks are concise and readable. Whether your book is formal and academic or chatty and friendly, we can ensure its tone is clear, consistent and appropriate for the intended audience. A professional edit will remove typos, spelling errors, redundancies, wordiness and unnecessary repetition, and make your text shine.
Funding, grant and promotion applications
Whether you're applying for funding, a job or a promotion, you need to showcase what you can offer. Submitting a document that has been professionally edited means that the people assessing it will concentrate on what you're saying, rather than being distracted or put off by errors. We can ensure that your document is free of mistakes, unnecessary repetition and imprecise language, so that it shows exactly who you are and what you can do.
