My English language editing service involves a 3-part revision process. A complete language polish ensures your research and accomplishments will stand out to readers. Language editing is also intended to help you finalize your work for publication or for initial submission to a journal.

Line editing and copyediting in any discipline

English language editing is substantive. I’ll complete a comprehensive, 3-part revision of your document to make your writing clear and powerful.

No matter the subject area, high-quality writing will boost your confidence and scholarly authority. In academia, pristine communication increases your chances of manuscript acceptance, generous funding, and a thriving research career. English language editing will transform your writing into crisp, natural-sounding prose suitable for any professional setting.
