Non-Academic Book Editors and Proofreaders in Sydney
Though we do primarily specialise in academia, we are also highly experienced in other areas of editing. Some of our clients have also utilised our fiction editing service, while others have relied on us to help with their writing because English is not their first language. We know that some people whose first language isn’t English are judged on the quality of their English not the content of their work, meaning that relevant and insightful ideas are often overlooked. To prevent this from happening, we have a specialised team to work with these clients and ensure their work is free from distracting grammatical errors.
We follow the Australian Standards for Editing Practice at all times and adhere to the ‘Guidelines for Editing Research Theses’ when editing academic texts. Capstone Editing is also a proud member of the Canberra Society of Editors, the Institute of Professional Editors, the Australian Society of Authors, the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (UK) and the Editorial Freelancers Association (US).

The One-Stop Editing Agency for Book Editors in Sydney
Editing can be the hardest part of writing. When you are very close to the material, you can anticipate the meaning without fully seeing any errors. That’s completely normal and is part of how our minds work. So, to guarantee your work is the best it can possibly be, it is much better to have an impartial person with no prior knowledge of your project. Fresh eyes catch more mistakes.
And since the majority of our editors have written a thesis and understand just how hard it can be, we endeavour to deliver excellent, stress-free services to our clients. We always make deadlines, so there won’t be any upsetting, unexplained delays. However, if for any unforeseen reason we miss that deadline, we guarantee you will be fully refunded for the service and still receive your edited document.
Take a look at the services and courses we offer in different locations including editing courses in Perth, editing courses in Melbourne, and editing courses in Brisbane and the testimonials from our previous, happy clients.
