All documents authored by or about Indigenous people are edited by academic editors who have undergone specialist training to ensure that our work is ethical, respectful and culturally appropriate.
Capstone Editing takes editing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors and research from or about those communities extremely seriously and is respectful of every client and their individual document and the story it tells. We understand the importance of using appropriate language and recognise the diversity of cultures, communities and individuals. Therefore, we know that specialised, highly trained editors must edit documents authored by or about Indigenous people.
