ACADEMIC EDITING is a special field that requires not only a firm grasp of all the rules of general editing — grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, word usage etc. — but also of the styles and formats of academic writing. It also requires an editor who is familiar with the academic world.
Wet Ink Solutions brings years of experience in this area, and we can help you put your painstaking research into the final form that will be acceptable to your peers or your committee.
Our rates are competitive and are based on a number of factors that are determined after reading a sample of your project. These factors include length, the quality of the writing, the extent of the revisions and formatting or reformatting required, and an analysis of your goals. We will be glad to give you a no-obligation, no-cost consultation and estimate.
IN ADDITION TO the steps listed on our editing page, our academic editing will make sure your document conforms to the style manual you are using (such as the APA Publication Manual, The Chicago Manual of Style, or the MLA Style Manual) as well as your university’s publication guidelines. (If you are using another style manual, let us know and we will tell you if we can follow it.)
We also will be happy to work with you as your dissertation or thesis progresses through the various committee revisions.
WHAT WE DON’T DO:
We do not write original papers or portions of papers for students.
We do not attempt to check facts in academic documents or change or correct any factual information without checking with the author.
We do not do original research.
We do not do “math.” We will edit your words to make sure they say what you want to say, but we will not check your mathematical or statistical accuracy.
