Lisa has edited several journal articles for me. Her thorough command of language really helps in making sure that the article is well expressed and free of errors. Lisa works 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 Lisa’s services again, including for a book project I have coming up. I highly recommend her 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.

We do not offer any discounts for our services, but we do have a Referral Program.
By pricing our service correctly, we ensure that our clients receive excellent value for money while our highly qualified and experienced academic editors are paid fairly for their specialist services.
This policy is important for maintaining the standards and integrity of the copyediting industry in Australia. Price undercutting through discounting is not a practice encouraged by industry associations, as this drives down editors’ wages and conditions and, ultimately, the quality of their work. Through fair and firm pricing, we can deliver an exemplary service consistently, now and into the future.
Copyediting is the comprehensive review of the language, organisation and presentation of a document. Issues of grammar, the correct use of verb tenses, word choice and syntax, and logic and clarity are all addressed by copyediting. In addition, the editor makes general comments on structure, organisation and the support of statements, and queries any errors or inconsistencies in content if necessary. All aspects covered by proofreading are included as part of copyediting, such as addressing consistency in spelling, capitalisation, hyphenation, dates, percentages, numbers, equations and symbols; ensuring referencing is correct, complete and consistent; and correcting and ensuring consistency in headings, the use of shortened forms and formatting. Copyediting is suited to clients whose documents require a close and comprehensive review according to the Australian Standards for Editing Practice.
Substantive editing includes all aspects of copyediting, but goes further to assess and develop the document with a focus on improving its content, organisation, clarity of expression and flow, as necessary for its purpose and intended audience. This service is not available for students, but is available for all other client types. Clients requiring substantive structural editing of their text to convert it from one format to another (e.g. from a conference paper into a journal article), or who feel they may benefit from developmental editing (e.g. at an early stage of manuscript preparation), should enquire about our substantive editing service.
Yes. If you have included your references in the word count, we will crosscheck your reference list or bibliography with your in-text citations, footnotes or endnotes to ensure that each citation corresponds to a referenced source, and vice versa. We will edit your references to ensure that they are correct, consistent and complete, including locating and including missing source information where possible.
