Editing

For different types of academic writing

  • journal articles                   
  • books

  • chapters in edited books
  • grant proposals
  • annual reports
  • tenure and promotion applications
  • CVs
  • theses and dissertations
  • book reviews

A range of editing services:

  • manuscript evaluation: assessing strengths and weaknesses
  • structural (developmental) editing: advising on “the big picture”: how to organize the MS most effectively
  • stylistic editing: “heavy” editing to trim wordiness and eliminate redundancies; suggesting alternative wordings for (or even rewriting) passages that are weak or unclear
  • copyediting: ensuring MS is clear, consistent, correct, and complete; ensuring spelling—whether Canadian, American, or British—is used consistently; ensuring citations and references match exactly and are formatted according to operative style guide (APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, etc.)
  • proofreading: inspecting word-by-word to catch any remaining errors or typos; ensuring headings are consistent; ensuring that spacing and other visual-display aspects are in order; identifying “ladders” (end-of-line hyphens) and “stacks” (same word, one on top of the other)
