Our line editing service emphasizes editorial changes for style, voice, and tone — the intensive work of ensuring your book does not read like a dissertation and your language does not lose your general reader. Line editing provides clarity and grounded, accessible syntax without sacrificing the intellectual rigor of your argument.

Our copy editing service provides a final, lighter editorial pass before a manuscript’s publication — correcting errors in grammar, usage, and punctuation without changes to style, tone, or voice. We recommend copy editing for authors whose prose is already strong and who need a meticulous technical pass before submission.

Our proofreading service provides a final human review for spelling, punctuation, and typographic errors — the errors that automated checkers routinely pass and that readers and reviewers notice. We recommend proofreading for manuscripts that have been edited and need only a final pass before going to press.

Since we specialize in the social sciences, humanities, nursing, history, and education, our citation formatting service is built around Chicago/Turabian, MLA, APA, and Harvard styles. We format parenthetical, footnote, and endnote citations and reference lists, and isolate any missing citation information that needs to be resolved before submission.

Our layout formatting service prepares your book or article for print following your publisher’s house style — from preliminary pages to final appendices, including spacing, pagination, margins, headings, and lists of contents, figures, tables, and images. Send us your publisher’s guidelines and we apply them throughout.

All of the above services are available with 24-, 48-, and 72-hour express turnaround. Express rates reflect priority scheduling — the editorial standard is identical to our standard-turnaround services.
