Developmental Editing

Do you know what you want to say, but struggle to put the pieces together to make it a cohesive document? No need to stress. We will help you draft your outline or edit your existing manuscript to weave your ideas together and create a smooth reading journey for your audience.

APA/CMOS

Feeling overwhelmed with the many rules of APA or Chicago style? We will scan your document for APA or Chicago formatting and ensure citations are correct in both the text and references page. Only need your references page edited? We tailor our editing to your needs.

Fact-Checking

Don’t want to verify every quote, date, source, spelling, and more of your document? We will do all the research for you and flag all the inconsistencies that would lead to an embarrassing blunder.

Proofreading

You’ve worked hours on your document, and now it’s time to brush away those last lingering errors. This can be the hardest step to do yourself and therefore a great time to have an editor read over your document. We’ll give your writing the edge it needs to stand out.

Document Formatting

Publishers of dissertations, journal articles, and books have exacting requirements for submission, with guidelines often multiple pages long! A single error can delay the acceptance of your work. We have years of experience deciphering style guides and formatting documents to institutions’ requirements.
