Hire an academic editor with confidence.
A free, plain-English guide: how to get your manuscript editor-ready, what editors do (and will never do), the eight questions to ask before you hire, and the red flags that should end the conversation.

• A pre-editing self-audit — the checklist that makes your edit deeper and your quote smaller
• Exactly what to send your editor — and the version-control rule that prevents disasters
• The five levels of editing in plain English, so you buy the one you need
• What an ethical editor will never do — dissertation integrity without scare tactics
• Eight vetting questions and the red flags that should end the conversation
