Thank you once again for the marvelous work that your editor performed.

What Our Academic Editing Service Does Not Do

Our editing of academic work for graduate students—specifically papers, theses, and dissertations turned in for credit toward college and university degrees—adheres to strict ethical standards. We are all college professors and we do not approve of editing services that violate ethical standards.  Such editing services are helping people defraud the public by passing off work they bought as their own work. Frankly and bluntly, such cheating constitutes fraud and such people who buy papers and dissertations are, themselves, frauds.

Please take note of the following:

We are NOT a paper-writing or dissertation-writing service.

We do NOT do any conceptual thinking, research, or extensive writing for our clients.

If you have any doubt whether or not your professor approves of your employment of our editing service, please check with him or her.

We reserve the right to reject any submission that is so poorly written it cannot be ethically edited.
