Our Academic Editing Services

1. Academic Editing (Basic & Advanced)

Basic Editing:
Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and language-level corrections — ideal for drafts needing a language polish.

Advanced Editing:
Structure and flow improvements, clarity enhancements, academic-style tuning, and refinement of logical coherence and readability.

2. Manuscript Formatting & Submission Preparation

Many journals impose strict formatting requirements. Quillcademia can help format your manuscript — title page, references, figures/tables, headings, spacing, citations — according to your target journal guidelines or style specifications.

This reduces the risk of automatic desk rejection based on formatting or structural non-compliance.

3. Peer-Review Response Support & Revision Assistance

After receiving feedback from peer reviewers, many authors struggle with crafting clear, coherent responses or revising manuscripts under pressure. We provide:

• Response letter editing

• Revision support (language, clarity, re-organization)

• Guidance to ensure changes stay within journal-style expectations

This service saves time and helps authors respond confidently without compromising academic integrity.

4. Academic Consulting & Author Mentoring

For authors and research groups who want more than editing, Quillcademia offers consulting services — from manuscript strategy to journal selection advice, structural feedback, clarity enhancement, and publication planning.

This is especially useful for:

• Early-career researchers

• Non-native English speakers seeking guidance

• Institutions managing multiple manuscripts across teams

Here’s a breakdown of our core services, and what you can expect when you choose Quillcademia:

Frequently asked questions

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.

As a PhD candidate preparing multiple journal submissions, I needed precise and reliable editing support.

Jennifer Chen, MPhil
Doctoral Researcher in Molecular Biology

Quillcademia significantly elevated the clarity and academic tone of my manuscript. Their editors understood the nuances of my discipline and improved the structure without altering my intended meaning. The two-step human review gave me full confidence in the final version, and my paper was accepted without language-related revisions.
