Our editors
Editors who know academic writing from the inside.
Our PhD academic editors are professors, corporate consultants, and college administrators who have written and published a variety of scholarly articles, so they understand what you’re going through. We have read thousands of academic research papers in our time, and we know exactly what copyediting, proofreading and document formatting needs to be done to ensure your article, research paper, or study achieves an excellent grade or fully realizes its publication potential.
We are familiar with all academic citation and documentation requirements: MLA, APA, Chicago, Turabian, Harvard, and many others. We are also adept at using any special style guides that your college, university, or scholarly journal may require. When you submit your work, we place it with the editor closest to your discipline.
Choose your level of academic editing
Pricing is per word and tiered by length. Premium Plus is recommended for academic work because it adds scholarly tone, style formatting and notes on unsupported or underdeveloped arguments.

“I cannot believe that after using another editing service Edit911 not only corrected everything that they missed, you also found a lot of errors that they PUT INTO my proposal! I actually paid another editing service to make more errors for me! Unreal. After I submitted my proposal that you edited, it was immediately accepted. Thank you for your great work!”
