How we proofread and edit texts
Our experienced editors can deliver a rigorous review and comprehensive
improvement of your text. Through accurate proofreading and intuitive editing, we
seek to add real, measurable value to the quality of your writing.
Diction, tone, and register
Where appropriate, our editors will amend diction to improve the academic tone and register of your document. For non-academic documents, we aim to ensure that your word choice is suited to the document’s purpose and intended audience.
Logic and clarity
Logic and clarity are central to successful writing. Our editors will repair problems with logic and clarity where possible and will provide feedback and guidance on areas that need the author’s attention.
Sentence structure and awkward phrasing
We will correct issues related to improper sentence construction and awkward phrasing to ensure that your writing is coherent and logical. For clients who are not native English speakers, we focus on correcting problems with idiom and syntax, ensuring that the work reads like that of a native speaker.
Redundancy, repetition, and wordiness
Conciseness is vital to successful academic writing. Our editors will analyze your writing and correct wordiness, repetition, and redundancy.
Grammar and punctuation
We will proofread your writing to correct errors related to grammar, punctuation, and spelling. We target errors such as misused articles, run-on sentences, inappropriate coordinating conjunctions, comma splices, subject-verb agreement issues, dangling modifiers, split infinitives, faulty parallelism, and other issues.
Special requests
We are happy to accommodate special requests or requirements that you may have. For example, if you have specific style or editorial guidelines you’d like us to use (e.g., APA, Chicago, MLA), we will be happy to oblige.
