Academic Editing


Academic Editing is perhaps the most complex type of editing work as it requires, in addition to strong editing skills, a good knowledge of the academic format and requirements and a knowledge of the topic. The best Academic Editors are usually Professors or retired Professors who add their life long skills to a new retirement business. Leaving your thesis or dissertation in the hands of unskilled editors or your peers, does not guarantee your success. 


While there is no definitive definition for an Academic Editor, these editors usually provide services to University and College graduate and post-graduate students and University stuff. They are specialized in thesis, dissertations, essays, proposals, research proposals, articles for publication, books, book reviews and all other type of academic and scholarly manuscript.

Many Academic Editors often specialize in one area of editing such as social sciences, medical sciences or English studies, as they can bring their in-depth knowledge to a specific topic of research but such editors are 
hard to find. Therefore, an Editor who is also an academic in a related area, or overlapping fields of studies is recommended.


What Does an Academic Editor Do?

An Academic Editor's role can be anything from editing an entry-level college essay to brainstorming and organizing a dissertation. Sometimes Academic Editors simply proofread for grammatical errors or typos and other times provide substantial editing and even researching and fact-checking services. Each case is different, each dissertation has its own particularities depending on the topic, level of mastery of the topic, the writer's/student's language proficiency and writing skills.

A professional Academic Editor will always maintain the academic integrity of the manuscript and provide services that are suited to and respectful of academic ethical standards while ensuring strict confidentiality with regards to the original manuscript involved.



We provide professional editing services for the following types of documents: thesis, dissertations, proposals, term papers, essays, journal articles and research papers.
We DO NOT provide academic writing services for the above types of documents. The author must have their own material already written and researched. We will add our expertise and research results only to perfect the original material.

Our assessment process of an academic manuscript is based on a sample that can range from 2-10 pages or -in some cases- an entire Chapter that will give the editor an idea of what needs to be done and helps approximate a quote and a timeline. Of course, a sample submitted for evaluation in view of future editing work will not be a comprehensive enough basis to evaluate the structural editing needed, so we factor in that most important stage into the quote.

Submit your material for editing now, for a FREE, no obligation, evaluation and price quote through the Submission Form or email the Editor

A master of her craft, the Editor has helped me as a first time author, refine my book and by the time she was done with my manuscript, it was better than I could have imagined. With infinite patience and knowledge, she guided me through the maze of making sense of my own work, having the reader in mind. Like many others, I mistakenly believed that editing was about correcting grammar and punctuation and I was astonished  to see the depth of her analysis, the way she clarified every paragraph in context bringing the book together into a cohesive body of writing. The book will soon be in print and I am forever grateful. Thank you.

"Thank you for making me a better writer."

                                                            Jacqueline Jodoin, Karma Trilogy

"LIFE-A Novel" was born out of a deep desire to share the best of my life journey with the world. I never thought there would be any need for editing but my publisher recommended it. What could an editor possibly do for my book? That was until I met this remarkable Lady of letters who made sense of ...myself and gave my book a life. With subtle humor and outstanding professionalism, the Editor ...."

"The Editor was highly professional, precise and delivered my edited PhD dissertation in record time. I was concerned about my topic being too specific, too technical but there was nothing to worry about. She addressed in minute detail all aspects of editing my work and the result was incredible. I would highly recommend." 

                                                      Jennifer Klaren, UCLA, PhD

"Amazing results. Would definitely use again. Professional and expert in any scholarly subject matter (in this case, analyzing  mental overload on pilots in training). The Editor went above and beyond to get the job done. I am extremely happy with the results and would recommend to anyone that wants high standard academic work edited professionally and in a timely manner. Thank you very much. " 

                                                      R. Bishop, Queensland U, 2014           

"Anyone involved in highly scholarly topic, academic research and writing  needs an equally competent Academic Editor.  The [Editor] is exactly that professional every academic wishes to have on their team. With a "Sherlock" mind she clears obscure passages and brings back order from chaos, so to speak. Exceptional work and contribution."

                                                       N. Kaminsky, Stanford U,  2014                                                                 
“The EDITOR did an extremely professional job of academic editing on a long PhD dissertation draft. The feedback was very constructive and just the right amount. Particularly helpful with correcting the overall structure and organization of the paper, eliminating superfluous passages, at all times respecting the academic format and the specific departmental requirements. I would highly recommend this academic editor to everyone determined to improve their writing.” J.K. PhD Dissertation UCSD, 2014
