How do I count my words?
Use the word count in Microsoft Word. We count the main text, notes and abstract. Your reference list is free unless you ask us to format it.
Which English do you use?
British or American English, whichever your journal or university asks for. We keep it consistent across the whole paper.
Can I try you first?
Yes. Send us any 300 words and we will edit them for free, so you can judge our work before you pay.
Do you use AI?
We may use software to catch typos and check references, as most editors do. Every edit is made and checked by a person, and your text is never used to train AI tools.
Will editing guarantee my paper is accepted?
No editor can promise that. Clear language removes one common reason for rejection and helps reviewers focus on your ideas.
How do I pay?
By card or bank transfer through Payoneer, in US dollars. For new clients we ask for 50% before we start and 50% on delivery.
