The Edit Bureau
Academic support from approachable, informed editors
The Edit Bureau is an expert proofreading, editing and coaching service for students and professional academics. We're a small team with several decades' experience as academics and editors. This means that we've written or edited papers in the fields of computer science, education, gynecology, hospitality, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, philosophy, politics, psychiatry, psychology, public health and many more.
Academic work can involve patches of stress and self-doubt, and as editors we try to be supportive and empathic with the feedback we provide, treating you and your work with respect.
We follow the guidelines of the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd). If you're a student, this means you can trust us to proofread or edit your work in a way that matches your university's ethical requirements.
About us
How we can help you
Proofreading and editing. At the most basic level, we offer proofreading, which involves spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence structure. At a more advanced level, we provide copyediting, which involves attention to writing style, tone and paragraph structure. We can also help with referencing, formatting and basic statistical advice.
You're welcome to send us your draft as a Word document, Google document, PDF file or LaTex file, and we can integrate EndNote if necessary.
Academic coaching. If you're struggling with multiple deadlines, language difficulties or academic overload, we can help you to get a clearer sense of your goals and the perspective you need to move towards them.
