Editing
Professional editing and feedback for researchers and other professional writers
We know that many researchers and other professional writers are pressed for time, do not have strong writing skills, or are too close to the writing to spot what can be refined. We also know that few institutions offer adequate support in writing and editing. We will edit or evaluate your draft to help you ensure that your writing is clear, concise, and compelling.
We have a suite of collaborative editing services to give you the professional eyes, hands-on support, and valuable feedback you need to get your manuscript, grant proposal, or other research-related project across the finish line.
Substantive Editing

You want to craft prose that smoothly guides readers through your writing
You need to condense the text to meet a page, word, or character limit
