I would like to thank Lisa 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.

No, we do not provide free sample editing. However, if you would like to try our service before submitting your full document for editing, you are welcome to pay to have a short sample edited. When you submit the full document, we can then subtract the amount paid for the sample.
The reason that we do not provide free sample editing is twofold. First, as professional academic copyeditors, we are committed to upholding and protecting the standards of the industry. Industry associations discourage professional editors from performing any work free of charge.
Second, the exceptional standard of our work is a reflection of the qualifications and experience of our editors and of our overarching focus on quality. Our detailed editing examples demonstrate what you can expect from your editor and are a reliable alternative to free sample editing.

If you make any changes or additions to your edited document and would like us to edit those changes and additions, we need to charge for that new work. We calculate the cost of this new work in one of two ways: either as a percentage of the full rate (if the new work is scattered throughout your document, requiring your editor to re-edit the full document), or by total number of new words (if the work is mostly blocks of new text, requiring your editor to edit only that text). To receive a quotation for a second round of editing, please email us with your document and any instructions.
If you only want some clarification about our edits, of if you have found some errors in our work that require revision, we can do this free of charge, provided this is within the scope of the original job. This work is covered under our Quality Guarantee.
You are welcome to provide specific instructions about the style guide and dictionary you would like us to follow when you submit your document to us for editing. Unless we are given specific instructions, when editing to conform to British/Australian English, we follow the Snooks & Co. Style Manual for Authors, Editors and Printers (which is the style guide adopted by the Australian government) and the Macquarie Dictionary. When editing to conform to American English, we follow the Chicago Manual of Style and Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (as recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style).
No, absolutely not. University academic integrity and plagiarism policies strictly prohibit students from having anyone else perform their work for them. This is both plagiarism and cheating. Universities are excellent at detecting plagiarism and do so through a number of methods. If you are caught, the likely consequence will be failure of your course and possible expulsion from the university.
You need to write your own work yourself, but you can do so with the support of a tutor or university support staff (such as from your university’s learning and teaching unit). We can certainly help you by editing your work and providing specific feedback to you on how you can further improve your academic writing skills.
We take great pride in delivering on-time superior editing services.
