Freelance Editors

Capstone Editing is in the unique position to offer academics a specialised editing service that fully meets their particular needs.

The Best Freelance Editors in Australia

Important texts need extensive editing and proofreading to ensure they’re of the high standard you require. One of the best ways to do this is to hire a freelance editor who can catch the mistakes you’ve missed and is an expert on language and structure. But hiring a freelancer can be risky. How do you know what qualifications or experience someone has? Can you trust them to return your document on time and provide a good service with high-quality edits? The best solution is to choose a reputable company like Capstone Editing. Our team comprises freelance editors who are highly trained academics, who we can personally vouch for, to whom we’ve provided all the necessary training and whose work comes with an On-time Guarantee and a Quality Guarantee. Take the uncertainty and unpredictability out of hiring a freelancer and improve the quality of your writing immediately with the best freelance editors in Australia.

Why Get a Freelance Fiction Editor for Research Journals?

Some people think they’re fine to edit and proofread their text themselves, and in some cases, that’s true. But important texts like academic work or corporate or government documents have a high standard and a low tolerance of mistakes, especially if it’s something you hope to submit to a journal or an assignment that will be graded. We’ve all experienced the phenomenon of going through a text hundreds of times without spotting an obvious typo that you’ll see as soon as it’s too late. It’s so easy to become blind to something you’ve read many times. And if English isn’t your first language, it can be even harder to write with the correct spelling and grammar, make the correct word choices and structure your sentences appropriately. Plus, academic writing is a different beast altogether. While you might be excellent at creative writing, those skills don’t always translate to an academic text, where the language and structure are very different from what you’re comfortable with. We’re rarely taught these skills during our degrees. These are all things a freelance english editor for research journals can help you with.

Plus, getting an editor saves you plenty of time and gives you less work to do. It also greatly increases your chances of getting accepted at first submission.

Testimonials

I would like to thank my editor at Capstone Editing for her thorough edit of my grant proposal. Her suggestions gave me better ways of expressing myself with clarity and (importantly for grant proposals) with fewer words! She provided detailed comments on her edits that helped ensure that we didn’t inadvertently change the intended meaning. I appreciated her attention to the details of formatting and nuances of meaning across the document. I highly recommend her to help improve the readability and clarity of academic documents.

Dr Monica Barratt NHMRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow University of New South Wales

Capstone Editing has edited many journal articles for me. Their editors' thorough command of language really helps in making sure that the article is well expressed and free of errors. They work very quickly and I have found it invaluable to have somebody format an article to the style of the particular journal. It is a massive time saver that allows me to move on to my next piece of work. I plan to use Capstone's services again, including for a book project I have coming up. I highly recommend Capstone Editing to academics wanting to save time and wanting to submit their work with the confidence that it has been thoroughly looked over and formatted to their particular requirements.

The fast, elegant and professional service provided by Capstone Editing saved me hours, days and weeks of work for which I am truly grateful. They worked to very tight deadlines and formatted, fixed and corrected my thesis so that I could submit it on time (and within my budget!) The editors who edited my thesis had phenomenal attention to detail and provided me with tremendously valuable feedback that improved the quality of my thesis. In addition to the usual material, my thesis had dozens of tables in both portrait and landscape format, a research study and case studies. My editors very quickly corrected and fixed all the material I threw at them and went beyond the call of duty to provide me with a beautifully referenced and immaculately formatted thesis. I am so appreciative of their advice and assistance.
