Academic writing has many unique style and formatting conventions. At Editex your work will be reviewed by specialist editors well versed in these principles, and you can choose an editor with experience in your field. Many of our editors are also qualified academics who hold PhDs themselves. This means they know exactly what to correct in your work without damaging the integrity of your arguments. A skilled editor can also efficiently identify faults in complex academic arguments. These are corrected without distracting from your unique voice, or pointed out in the comments.
