Our paper proofreaders perfect your academic work

We will correct English errors and then “tighten” your writing by reducing wordiness and ensuring that direct quotes appear with proper citations. All sources in the text will be properly written and included in your reference section. (Note: we will NOT write your paper.)

Our paper editors have advanced degrees and proven experience

Our professional paper editors have served as examiners for undergraduate, Master’s and PhD theses, so they know what to look for in a paper. Therefore, they also know what your professor is looking for!

With many years of experience with all types and formats of papers, from Arts and Humanities to Engineering and Chemistry and Turabian to Harvard – we know them all! We can also format to school and journal guidelines, so just tell us your requirements and we’ll fulfill them for you!

Finally, your editor indicates all areas that need to be “tightened” in order to for you to pass. They have been through this process themselves and with their own students. We ensure you have a polished, finished product.

Paper Editing Services

Your paper represents months of hard work. You’ve poured over the relevant literature, conducted your research, and presented the results as clearly as you can. But is your writing clear enough?

We edit everything from program applications (e.g., PhD applications) to papers of several hundred pages. We always ensure your requirements are met. We also ensure your references and figures are consistent and correct.

What professional services does paper editing include?

Paper editing is more technical. Every aspect of your paper is considered by another set of academic eyes. Here’s what our experienced editors will check in your paper during a technical edit:

  • Spelling, grammar, punctuation, subject-verb agreements
  • Verb tenses and consistency
  • Transitional phrases and fluidity of writing
  • Passive verbs and sentence structures
  • Reference formatting adheres to the standards you require, APA, etc.
  • Overall flow and support of statements
  • Professional comments and feedback on overall presentation
