Editing that tells you why, not just what
A correction you do not understand is one you will make again next term. Every change is tracked with the reason written beside it, grouped by rule, so the second assignment needs less work than the first.

Three different jobs sit under the word editing
Proofreading is the last pass: grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency. It fixes the surface of a draft whose argument is already where you want it. It is the cheapest thing to buy and it is the right thing to buy surprisingly often.
Copy editing goes further. Sentence structure, register, repetition, transitions, and the academic voice your program expects. It is what most students actually mean when they say a paper reads badly but they cannot say why.
Rubric-based feedback is a different job again. It is not editing at all: it is a report on where the points are going against the specific rubric you were given, ranked by how much each thing is costing you. If your grade is lower than your writing quality suggests it should be, this is usually the one you need.
- Proofreading: grammar, punctuation, consistency, formatting
- Copy editing: structure, register, transitions, academic voice
- Rubric feedback: where the points go, ranked by cost
- APA 7 formatting: the whole document, tables and appendices included
What comes back to you
On any document, at any level
- Your tracked document, with the reason written beside every change
- The three things costing you the most points, named and ranked
- Corrections grouped by rule, so you learn the rule rather than the fix
- A clean copy alongside the tracked one, if you want it
- Authorship of every word. We do not add sentences to your work
The four services under this head
Proofreading & editing
Clarity, grammar and academic voice on the draft you wrote. Two levels: a proofread for a finished draft, or a copy edit where the writing itself needs work.
What is includedRubric-based feedback
A report on where the points are going against your own rubric, ranked by how much each thing is costing you. No editing, by design.
What is includedAPA 7 formatting
Title page, headings, in-text citations, reference list, tables, figures and appendices, brought to the style your program grades to.
What is includedOne-to-one coaching
For when the problem is not this document. Structure, argument and academic writing skills, taught by one named person over a set number of sessions.
What is includedHow an edit works
Send the draft and the rubric
The document, the word count, your deadline, and the rubric if you have one. The rubric is what turns an edit into a grade improvement.
You get a fixed quote
Priced on word count and turnaround, both stated up front. No card details, and nothing is booked until you say so.
A qualified editor works on it
Someone with a graduate qualification in your field, named to you before you book. Tracked changes with a reason beside each one.
You approve every change
Nothing is imposed. You accept or reject each change, which is what keeps the document yours.
We edit the draft you wrote. We never write it
- No ghostwriting, and no part of an assignment written for submission.
- No completed work supplied as a sample to hand in.
- We do not add substantive sentences, arguments or sources to your work.
- Editing happens on a draft you wrote, and you approve every change.
- If a document arrives that is not yours to submit, we will say so and decline it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Proofreading is the final surface pass: grammar, punctuation, spelling and consistency on a draft whose argument is already settled. Copy editing also works on sentence structure, register, repetition and transitions. If your feedback from faculty is about clarity rather than typos, you want the copy edit.
No, and this is the thing to watch for in an editing service. We do not add substantive content, arguments or sources. Where a sentence is ambiguous we flag it and ask, rather than picking one reading and rewriting it into the other.
Per word for editing work, with turnaround as the second axis. Proofreading starts at $0.04 per word. You get an exact figure back before anything is booked, and it does not change afterwards.
APA 7 as standard, since most US nursing, education, psychology and social work programs require it. MLA 9 and Chicago are available where your program uses them.
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people come to us. The work is taught rather than corrected for you: corrections are grouped by rule so the same construction stops recurring, rather than being silently fixed every time.
