How long will it take to edit my document?
We’ll give you return options when we send our quote. If you’d like to see what options are available beforehand, please enter your document’s word count into our approximate cost calculator.
What do you charge for second or further rounds of editing?
When we edit your paper a second or further time after preliminary submission to a journal the quote is based on the word count and the amount of editing work required, and is thus generally less than the original price.
Should I select Standard Editing or Premium Editing
Standard Editing is by far our most requested service, but if you’d like to engage more with the editing team, commenting on their work and having them implement further changes according to your feedback, then Premium Editing may benefit you.
Can you edit LaTeX documents?
Our preferred method is to convert Latex files to Word documents that can then be edited with the changes tracked. We don’t touch any of the Latex code,so you can copy the text back into your Latex editor afterwards. Of course, if you’d prefer we can also work on the hard copy printed PDF.
Can you reduce the word count of my document?
It maybe possible to reduce the word count a little within the scope of Standard Editing. An extra cost is likely for larger reductions.
Can you format my paper for me?
Yes, we can format papers in line with APA and Chicago, or any specific journal guidelines if you can send us a link.
How do you maintain quality?
All of our editing involves two read-throughs by the initial editor and then a final check by an experienced senior editor who provides feedback, if necessary.
What if my paper is rejected?
Our guarantee is that if you don’t alter a manuscript that we’ve edited and it is rejected by a journal on purely English language grounds, we will offer to re-edit it free of charge.
Why is your quote different to the price shown on the Approximate Cost Calculator on your website?
Rather than quote an averaged dollar per word figure, we determine our prices after analysing your document. The figure may therefore be different to the average, guideline price produced by the website.
