Our Approach

We offer professional editing of concept notes, proposals, dissertations, research reports, theses and academic papers, including the client’s chosen referencing style, for example, Harvard, APA (American Psychological Association), and MLA (Modern Language Association).

The editing will pay attention to sentence structure, grammar and spelling, as well as the consistency of in-text referencing. Although content will never be tampered with, inconsistencies will be noted, and suggestions will be provided through track changes.

Once the client has made the suggested changes we will do a final proof before signing off.

Our Pricing

Each project is priced individually, based on the number of words and the results of a test edit.

The test edit is returned to you so that you can see how we approach the work and what it is that we think needs to be done.

There is no charge for the test edit.
