BESPOKE EDITORIAL SERVICES
for your research manuscript, journal article, grant, dissertation, thesis, or other scientific or corporate document.
Make your words shine!
It all begins with an idea.
Maybe you want to prepare an academic or scientific paper for publication.
Maybe you want to polish a foreign-language translation with concise, idiomatic English.
Maybe you have a business presentation that needs an upgrade, or a dissertation that’s just one good scrub away from defense.
Whatever your project, the way you present your story can make all the difference. But even the best idea will look sloppy, unfinished, and unprofessional if it contains errors in grammar and punctuation, awkward or imprecise language, and imprecise writing.
Don’t let poor editing detract from your great idea.
“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
—Mark Twain
Scientific editing and review.
Our scientific editing and review service offers clients a line-by-line edit and proofread, including (1) a full report on the edit and the manuscript’s readiness; and (2) a report on the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, as a journal reviewer might see them.
English language editing.
English language editing services designed to help your manuscript flow in the natural sounding English of a native speaker while retaining your own unique voice and style.
Developmental editing.
Just getting started on a project? Our developmental editing service looks at the content and structure of your work, assessing every aspect of the manuscript as it develops.
Copy and line editing.
This is the core of the editorial process, checking grammar, spelling, punctuation, facts, tenses, and discrepancies in the document. Looking for repetitive words and phrases, word choice, syntax, sentence organization, and consistency in style and language—making your manuscript shine before you send it off to a journal, publisher, or agent.
Proofreading.
The final fine-tuning, comparing the formatted galley to the original manuscript for typos or formatting errors.
