Often, authors are so emotionally involved in their work that they fill pages with great ideas but fail to express their ultimate statement with the best choice of words possible. First Editing specializes in fixing mistakes, beautifying language, and transforming drafts into college essay masterpieces. Send us your writing for a FREE essay editing sample…

Client Reviews
“I appreciate the editing which caught several questions of why or made me support my research. It was a very helpful and professional editorial review.”
Cynthia Whitehouse, Texas, USA
“My editor gave great advice! He made a bunch of changes that made wordy sentences better without changing the tone of the character. I am still working through the changes, as some will affect the following books. I am excited to work with Michael on future projects.”
Taryn Kitchener, Canada
