Frequently asked questions.

What types of documents do you edit?

I edit a wide range of academic documents, including journal articles, book chapters, monographs, master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, research proposals, and application essays.

Do you only work with non-native English speakers?

No. While I specialise in helping non-native English speakers polish their academic writing for international publication, I also work with native speakers seeking a professional editorial review.

Can you help with citation styles like APA, Chicago, or OSCOLA?

Yes. I regularly work with a variety of academic citation styles, including APA, Chicago, MLA, Harvard, and OSCOLA. I can help ensure that your references are complete, consistent, and correctly formatted.

Do you offer help with writing or just editing?

My primary service is academic editing, which includes improving grammar, clarity, and academic tone. For postgraduate students or applicants, I also offer structural editing and feedback to help refine arguments or application narratives. I do not ghostwrite.

Do you offer translating services?

No, we do not translate academic works. The researcher should get the credit for writing an article in English, not having one translated into English, which requires crediting the translator. But we will thoroughly proofread your writing and ensure that the English is correct. You can confidently submit your work knowing that the English is at a native level.

How do I book a consultation for studying abroad?

You can contact us through the website to schedule a Zoom consultation. During the session, we’ll discuss your goals and background. We will then research the options that best fit your needs and send a written report outlining suitable programmes and next steps.

Can you help with university applications and essays?

Yes. I can guide you through the application process, explain requirements, and provide proofreading and detailed feedback on personal statements, statements of purpose, or other required writing.

How long does editing take?

Turnaround times depend on the document length and level of editing required. We can discuss your needs, including any deadlines you may need to meet, and agree on a schedule.

How are your services priced?

Pricing depends on word count, complexity, and type of service (e.g., standard proofreading, substantive editing, or consulting). Contact me with your document or project details for a free quote.

Do you offer confidentiality?

Absolutely. All client documents and consultations are treated as strictly confidential. I do not share your work or personal information with anyone.
