Accepted in my target journal

“My manuscript was rejected from my target journal due to English language flaws. They requested that I seek professional academic editing to help to fix the issues. After reading positive reviews, I tried Cambridge. The experience was highly satisfactory – after their work, my manuscript was accepted by the journal!”

Jonas, University of Amsterdam

The best proofreading service

“Many thanks to the editors, Suzanne and Kathleen. After spending tens if not hundreds of hours working on my manuscript, I think I would have gone crazy if I had to proofread it. The editors have done a fabulous job of correcting my many mistakes.”

Geoffrey, London, UK

Very satisfied with the work by the editor

“I used Cambridge’s academic editing services and was very satisfied with the results. I subsequently used them to edit the manuscript that I developed from the original thesis. Again, they delivered satisfactory results. I will use them again in the future.”

Fabiano, Toronto, Canada
