Premium Editing is for strong science that needs deeper editorial intervention. A native-English PhD editor delivers substantive rewrites, sentence/paragraph reorganisation, and tighter logic and flow—while preserving your meaning. We correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, and also reword awkward or convoluted sentences and trim verbosity to improve readability and clarity; if needed, we reduce word count to meet journal limits. All edits are provided via Word Tracked Changes with margin notes so you stay in control. A typical 5,000-word paper receives ~800–1,600 edits, enhancing clarity and readability for publication and maximum impact.

Paragraphs benefit from reorganisation to improve logic, coherence, and flow.
Manuscript exceeds the journal’s word limit and needs careful condensation.
The text requires a more thorough edit: rewording of awkward or convoluted sentences, reducing verbosity to improve clarity and flow, line-by-line suggestions on structure, clarity, and tone.

Acceptance Guarantee
If a journal rejects your paper solely due to English-language issues, although you accepted all our edits and made no further changes prior to submission to the journal, we will re-check your manuscript for free and formulate a rebuttal letter to the journal (see our FAQ section).
Discounts for large documents
Bespoke discounts may be granted for larger documents such as books or theses upon request. Simply send us an email with your word count and subject area and we will let you know.
Our Quality Guarantee
Unlike some of our competition, we neither employ automated AI systems nor undergraduate students from low income countries to proofread your manuscript. All our editors are experienced academics with PhD and/or MD degrees from highly regarded universities who will take the time needed to correct not just simple spelling and grammatical errors, but, more importantly, improve logical flow, awkward phrasing, word choice, and academic tone. These types of corrections are more time consuming and require an editor who not only understands the science but who possesses the necessary experience and abilities to be able to suggest improvements at this level. The many positive client testimonials show that our approach is the right one.
