Academic editing services: options

Whether your manuscript needs a light touch to add shine or a heavier hand to improve flow, the Detail Devil can help. After many years of working with academic researchers — early, mid and late career — I’ve carefully designed the following options with your needs in mind, which can be tailored to your needs. See full details of each option further down the page.

APA fluent

I work predominately and am fluent with APA (sixth and seventh editions), but I also work with a range of other style guides, including the Australian Style Manual, the Oxford Guide to Style, MLA, CMoS and Harvard. Talk to me about your institution’s preferences.

Professionally qualified and experienced

I’m a professional member of both the Institute of Professional Editors (Australia) and the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders (UK), with a postgraduate qualification in editing and communication from the University of Melbourne. Find out more about me.
