Editing Services
I offer flexible academic editing services for writers at every stage — from light proofreading to comprehensive dissertation editing.
Proofreading
Academic proofreading services include:
A light touch to catch surface-level issues.
Corrects spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typos
Ensures consistency in formatting of headings, references and page numbers with APA, MLA or Chicago style
Suitable for near-final drafts
💡 Best for writers who want one last polish before submission.
Copyediting
Academic copyediting services include proofreading, plus:
Refine sentence structure, flow and tone for clarity and impact
Adjust passive/active voice, wordiness, and awkward phrasing
Align with style guides (APA, MLA, Chicago, or program-specific templates)
💡 Best for drafts that need refinement in style and structure, not just typos.
Comprehensive Editing Services
A detailed, comprehensive edit for complex, high-stakes projects like Ph.D. dissertations or research papers.
All proofreading + copyediting services, plus:
Clear, detailed comments to strengthen flow, logic, and cohesion across chapters or sections
Check for consistency and compliance with your program’s or journal’s template
APA/MLA/Chicago formatting checks for references, in-text citations, and overall structure
💡 Best for long projects where you want clarity, polish, and formatting all in one.
