How do I submit my manuscript?

You can submit your manuscript by email. Our team reviews the file to confirm the word count, service level, and delivery timeline, then provides a transparent estimate based on our pricing clusters before assigning your project to a specialized editor.

Who edits my manuscript, and do you use AI?

Your manuscript is edited exclusively by native-speaking academic editors with subject-specific expertise. We follow a strict human-only editing policy because academic work requires nuance, reasoning, and discipline-specific knowledge that automated tools cannot reliably provide. A second editor then performs an internal quality review to ensure accuracy and consistency.

What types of editing services do you offer?

We offer two primary levels of academic editing: Basic Editing for grammar and clarity, and Advanced Editing for restructuring, flow, academic tone, and stylistic refinement. We also provide additional services such as formatting, peer-review response support, proposal and grant assistance, and publication consulting.

How long does the editing process take?

Turnaround time depends on word count and service level. Standard delivery is typically five to seven days, while expedited delivery (48–72 hours) is available for shorter manuscripts. These timelines are reflected in our pricing model, which includes service-level multipliers for express editing.
