Academic Editing

books in the library

Versed Writings provides high-quality copyediting services for academic work, including journal articles, doctoral theses and undergraduate assignments.

Copyediting focuses on refining your writing to ensure clarity, accuracy and consistency. This includes:

  • Grammar, punctuation, and clarity of expression
  • Consistency of terminology and style
  • Language conventions (spelling, capitalisation, hyphenation and abbreviations)
  • Presentation of visual elements (headings, figures, tables and captions)
  • Referencing (accuracy and adherence to required style guides)

For postdoctoral clients, I also offer substantive editing – a more in-depth service that engages with structure, argument, flow, and overall style.

For pre-doctoral work, editing is undertaken in accordance with the Guidelines for Editing Research Theses set by the Institute of Professional Editors, ensuring appropriate academic boundaries are maintained.

If you work in LaTeX, I can return your document via LyX or Overleaf, or provide detailed feedback as annotated notes on a PDF – depending on your preference.

I highly recommend Versed Writings as an academic editing service. As a non-native English speaker, I love working with Angie because she is precise, thorough and very easy to work with.
