Frequently asked questions
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our editing services, turnaround times and scope of support.
Journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, reports and other academic, non-fiction or business texts under 10,000 words qualify for this service.
No. The under-10,000-word service does not include sample edits, as the process is designed to be fast and streamlined, but you can review a sample edit here.
The service includes 1 round of editing plus a 7-day window for follow-up questions. Additional rounds are charged as an extra service.
If your text is only marginally over the limit, contact us and we can advise whether the fixed service still fits or whether a bespoke quote is more appropriate.
Proofreading or copyediting corrects spelling and inconsistencies — including in figures, tables and appendices — as long as they fall within the word count.
