Using our Services
When you send the manuscript through our website, we immediately assess the requirements you identified on the form and send out an inquiry via email to make sure that we did not miss any important information, such as the journal name and any requisite formatting or style. We then match your paper with the appropriate editor, who prepares a 500-word sample edit that will show you how your editor will edit the rest of your manuscript. This sample edit also helps us to identify the level of edit your paper requires and to calculate the cost of editing your document based on the level of editing. We ask that you send your entire document and not select out a small portion. This way, your editor can start editing from the beginning, and we can evaluate the whole document to see if it would benefit from a structural edit. We will treat your document with the greatest confidentiality.

Levels of Editing
When our editors edit your article, dissertation, or book on a structural level, they work to improve the flow of your argument, making sure that you define your terms and use them consistently. They will consider the overall logical structure as well as the structure of paragraphs.

They can also guide less experienced authors by suggesting ways to reorder sections of the text to improve to improve the logical order and flow of the text, and they can make sure that.
Whether you request a light edit or a developmental (heavy) edit of your text, our professional editors will take great care to retain your writing style, tone, voice, and meaning. The editors use the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word to annotate and comment any significant changes, explain their suggested changes, ascertain that they have understood your meaning should there be any ambiguity in the original wording, or call out or flag a potential problem, such as lack of clarity or the need to add more data.
