Academic Editing

Writer Wiz offers top-of-the-line, yet affordable, academic editing service for graduate students, professors, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The bulk of our editing is done on dissertations, journal articles, and term papers/essays. We also edit job-related documents such as personal statements, teaching statements, resumes, and cover letters.

Our editorial team is staffed primarily by former or current professors, all of whom hold Ph.Ds, in such fields as Music, History, English, Biology, Chemistry, and Education. All have considerable experience as academic writers and editors, having published dissertations, books, and peer-reviewed journal articles.

We offer two editing options:

• Deep Line Editing—Sentence-by-sentence editing with close attention paid to technical and stylistic matters such as sentence structure, transitions, grammar, tense consistency, word choice, logic, paragraph development, and ambiguities of meaning. If requested, we will examine the document’s structure and organization, development of argument, use of evidence, tone, rhetorical style, and other high-level concerns in order to assess its readiness for publication. Deep Line Editing includes style formatting.

• Proofreading / Style Formatting—Careful editing of manuscript to ensure accordance with formatting guidelines of APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, or other style sheets (including those used by particular academic departments or journals); checking of fonts, margins, spacing, headers, tables of contents, figures and tables, citations, page and footnote numbering, widow and orphan lines; detailed copy editing to fix misspellings and typos, grammatical errors, punctuation errors, missing or extra words, incorrectly formatted citations, etc.
