On-line Text Editing
Edits International helps native and non-native speakers of English revise important documents that they have written in English. Working with clients in business, industry, and academia, we help clients produce final documents that are clear, grammatically correct, and persuasive. Keeping your specific goals in mind, we help you tailor your writing to your particular audience. (Please note that we don't translate documents from other languages into English.) Past projects completed by Edits International include:
- a paper on live IPTV systems for a Chinese researcher,
- a Ph.D. dissertation on cranio-sacral therapy for an American graduate student,
- a grant proposal for multinational researchers working in biomedical engineering,
- a description of a bolt-bearing plate for an American inventor's patent application,
- a television manual for a Japanese electronics firm,
- customer-service letters for an American utility company, and
- several chapters of a book on cognitive psychology for a Swiss researcher.
Two Options: Comprehensive Edit & Quick-Check
Edits International offers two basic types of service, which differ in the level of detail, the cost, and the time required for each.
Comprehensive Edit - the perfect type of help when your document is the culmination of an extended effort--e.g., a book manuscript, research paper, or dissertation. Keeping your particular concerns and goals in mind, we correct errors and offer you ways to restate sections that are unclear or confusing. Working carefully and efficiently, we edit your text for both lower-level problems like punctuation, grammar, and word choice as well as more general issues like cohesion, organization, and persuasiveness.
Once your document has been checked, you and your editor review the changes and discuss any remaining questions you have so that you can then easily incorporate the changes into your final document. By combining your subject-matter expertise with our linguistic expertise, you end up with a final document that is clear and persuasive while also learning how to use English more effectively.
Quick Check - when you’re in a hurry and/or on a limited budget and simply want to have an expert point out errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and word usage.

Editors with dual expertise
Our editors have taught English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) and have worked as writers and/or editors in the business world. Since we understand the types of difficulties foreign writers encounter, we're able to point out problems and clearly suggest ways to correct them. Drawing on our dual expertise, we help you create final documents that both match the expectations of your readers and allow you to meet your professional goals.
