WHAT CAN BE EDITED

Look at the whole manuscript.
Then work through the details.

Some drafts need a language edit. Others need a closer look at how the research, evidence and argument fit together. We review your materials before confirming the scope.

Make the reasoning behind your claims visible.

  • Links between claims, evidence and interpretation
  • Depth of analysis and evaluation

Academic language

Refine expression while keeping the meaning of your work clear.

  • Grammar, sentence clarity and word choice

MANUSCRIPT EDITING QUESTIONS

Before you
send the file.

Is manuscript editing only proofreading?

You can request language editing, a broader review of structure and argument, or subject-specific checks. We discuss the needs of your document and list the agreed work in your quote.

Can you work from my teacher’s comments?

Yes. Send the exact comments and the draft your teacher reviewed. This lets us connect each requested change to the relevant part of your work.

What file should I send?

An editable Word document is best for Track Changes. A PDF is suitable for an annotated review. Include the task instructions and any relevant data or supporting files.

Can I send an incomplete draft?

Yes. Send what you have, explain what is unfinished and include your deadline. We will confirm which editing or review work can be done with the available material.

How much does manuscript editing cost?

Send the draft for a fixed quote. The subject, length, editing scope and deadline determine the price. The quote sets out the full cost and included follow-up before payment.

How quickly can you return my manuscript?

Share your deadline and time zone before booking. We confirm availability and a delivery date after reviewing the document and the work required.
