Frequently Asked Questions
What types of documents do you edit?
We specialize in editing academic, professional, and technical documents, including dissertations, theses, reports, manuals, and other scholarly or business-related materials.
Do you offer services for fiction or creative writing?
No, we do not. Our expertise is in academic, professional, and non-fiction writing, where precision, clarity, and adherence to formal standards are critical. With extensive experience in research-based writing, professional reports, and scholarly manuscripts, we understand the nuances of structure, style, and citation required in these fields. Unlike general editing services, we focus exclusively on non-fiction, which allows us to deliver meticulous, detail-oriented edits that enhance credibility, maintain consistency, and ensure your work meets the highest professional and academic standards.
Do you edit in specific style guides?
Yes, we are experts in APA 7 and the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition). We do not currently provide style edits for MLA or other formatting styles.
