Most of our native-speaking editors have advanced degrees (e.g., MD, PhD, PharmD, MEng, MSc, and MA) or professional licenses and are published authors themselves. All are excellent writers, and you can request that a specific editor or proofreader handle your work. This ensures your manuscript will have the right 'look and feel' for readers in your specialist field.
To meet your needs and your budget, we offer different levels of editing service. Opt for our EXPRESS service if you are in a hurry.
