Services
The thousands of individual choices you've made as an author -- vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, plot -- accumulate to form a reader's experience of your work. Our line-edit will unlock your manuscript's potential by making sure those choices reflect and communicate your goals as a writer.
Every project we do includes correcting grammar and spelling errors, checking for typographical consistency, fixing missing or incorrectly used words, and debugging other basic mistakes.
In addition to all of the relevant parts above, our academic experience can help ensure you've crafted the best possible paper. The editing process includes asking some of the following questions:
- Are you making a cogent argument?
- Does your paper actually say what you need it to say?
- Are you communicating clearly and concisely to keep your reader's interest?
* We do not proofread for citations and we do not do weekend rush jobs for underclassmen.

Corporate communication is all about accessibility. Are you getting your ideas across quickly and easily to your consumer?
- Is the content accurate?
- Is it easy to understand?
- Is it presented in a logical order?
- Does it conform to the company's style?
We can work closely with you to polish a project you'd be proud to put your company name on.
You will also receive a critique write-up that includes additional comments, suggestions, and writer coaching, as needed.
