Editing Press Reviews 73

I learnt Editing Press via Bassi Foundation through the mailing list of my study programme. I found their work really great, insightful and helpful. They are quick, professional and friendly.

My first time using a copywriting service and I am very happy! I chose the general proofreading since my paper had already been accepted and got my paper back after 7 days.

Great work! Exactly what I needed. I am a medieval historian and had them copy-edit a book manuscript. It was very important that the meaning of sentences did not change. To my delight, the editor did exactly what I needed. They marked up sentences that did not make sense and suggested how to improve it. They also thoroughly got rid of every typo and wrong comma. I am thrilled with their work and highly recommend their editing.

I am very grateful to Editing Press for their fantastic support of emerging scholars with the Laura Bassi Scholarship that they offer to graduate students and new academics a few times per year. Myself and a co-author won this scholarship last year and the Editing Press team took great care with providing excellent editorial support for our manuscript. We are so grateful for their care, communication, expertise, and time!

I got so much valuable feedback on my essays (I'm studying psychology) throughout my course. I ended up graduating with a First. I believe I wouldn't have achieved that grade if it weren't for the consistent feedback I received via thorough editing. thank you so much, editing press.

I contracted Editing Press to perform a through edit of my PhD dissertation and found the experience to be a bitter disappointment. I am dyslexic, and I have limited time because I am a single mother, so I had every hope that their promise of "thorough editing" would help me to get through to the conclusion of my PhD with minimal interruption. This was not the case.

Thorough editing offers both editorial comments, copy editing, and footnote editing. Their editorial comments were only tenuously related to my dissertation subject, with repeated suggestions that were outside the scope of my research, their line-by-line editing was cursory and limited, as was the footnote editing. Upon submitting my "edited" dissertation to my advisors their response was shock that the document had been edited at all. To quote my adviser directly, "In my 10 years of supervising Graduate students, I have never seen such a poorly copy-edited thesis. The document contained every kind of error." I was so hopeful when I found Editing Press, my dyslexia make it impossible for me to self-copy edit, and moreover, to evaluate their service independently. It was a shocking disappoint to me when my advisors told me that there had been a total failure of meaningful copy editing.

As a direct result of this limited and cursory editing result, my attempts to finish my thesis, was unnecessarily stressful. My adviser spent hours copy editing before we decided to delay my submission so that I could contract an additional copy editor. I did in fact contract a second copy editor to meet my delayed deadline.

My attempt to resolve this experience directly with Editing Press has been upsetting. After contracting my second editor I requested a partial refund to account for what I paid to the additional copy editor. After several rounds of emails and communication, after submitting evidence of the failure, and of my payment to a second copy editor, the board of editing press denied my requested partial refund and described my claims as “spurious.”

To summarise my experience with editing press: my thesis underwent only the most cursory copy editing, and when brought to their attention, Editing Press made no attempt to repair this, instead they called my claim spurious, they accused me of lying about my experience. I cannot more strongly recommend that you do not use this service. Find a local editor, speak to your advisor, use word of mouth. I wish I had done that the first time, as I ultimately had to in the end.

It was a delight to work with the Editing Press. I was able to avail of their "Thorough Editing" service through a partial scholarship granted by the Laura Bassi Foundation, though I would certainly look to work with them in future even without the financial offset provided by the scholarship. Not only is the staff at the Editing Press professional and accommodating in their exchanges—they were able to set up a reasonable payment plan for me, since I am a graduate student—they are also incredibly understanding and supportive of the various hurdles that come up during the drafting process, such as needing to adjust submission deadlines. The feedback I received will be immensely helpful as I continue to revise my writing and nuance my argument. I look forward to working with them again!

Having worked on my article extensively, I became blind to some of its gaps. The editor drew my attention to them and provided extremely helpful suggestions for improving the structure of my article.

Excellent proofing and APA formatting, and can wholeheartedly recommend to other graduate students in a time crunch with their dissertations. The $100 rebate for referrals is a sweet way to end the work too!

The editing of my journal article was what I needed at the time. An unbiased, critical review of my writing style and a topic I felt passionate about. Feedback was concise, prompt and will only enhance the final draft as well as future writing. I would 100% recommend any person new to writing journal articles to use this facility. It gave me the confidence to try and get my article published and to attempt writing another article soonest.

The editing suggestions were very helpful and the turnaround was lightning fast! It was valuable to rely on their feedback and timeliness as I prepared a research article for review. Would definitely recommend!

The editors worked on both my article for a journal and PhD proposal manuscript. The experience was seamless, the process was pleasant. The turnaround time was outstanding. The quality of editing was impressive, it added value to my work. The direction from the comments enhanced both my manuscripts and made it academically sound. I am forever grateful for the editing press

Excellent editing service. I needed a thorough and rigorous edit for my dissertation as I was looking to shorten and ready it for submission to a journal. The attention to detail and the expertise of the editors was evident. Their feedback was invaluable, I will certainly be using Editing Press services again in the future.

I am satisfied with the edition work! The number one merit is being fast and punctual. They will return it to you within their guaranteed time without delaying your plan. Sometimes they can pick out some issues that are related to the contents and inconsistencies with the previous pages. It demonstrates that they did make efforts when editing it, not only to correct the basic grammar from sentence to sentence. Many of the problems they found out are quite the same when it comes to the second half of my doctoral thesis. Generally speaking, I would recommend their great service!

I was very happy with the work of the editors who reviewed my dissertation. I am not an English-native speaker but found that what I was trying to say in a foreign language probably not polished enough was perfectly understood by the editors and they came up with accurate and precise ways of saying it. I highly recommend this. The options provided when my sentences were not clear enough were very assertive and well-written, capturing fully what I wanted to say

I wasn't happy with the first round, but I communicated this and substantial and helpful revisions were provided in 10 days. While I didn't agree with all of the feedback, most of it was extremely helpful and will improve the quality of my manuscript. I highly recommend them, but make sure you communicate your needs. You will not be disappointed and find that they deliver quality work.

I am grateful to Mona and the team of editors. My research report was well edited with revisions being edited as well. The turnaround time was excellent. I will use the notes from the reviewers in my future works as well. Thank you so much. Charmaine Khumalo

The reviews gave amazing feedback regarding the language and were also extremely careful about the general understanding of the paper. I was completely thrilled about the suggestion of the editors. There are clear and easy to implement with a lot of suggestion to improve the papers' structure. For instance comments such as "this sums up the argument well, the abstract could take advantage of this", shows that they take the work in its entirety and really try to help bring papers to the next level!

Charles and his team were extremely helpful. The two-phase review was precise, correcting not only my grammar mistakes, but clearly suggesting directions of substantive paper improvement. They did their job very quickly, which is worth emphasizing. I wish all editors and reviewers worked like this!

Professional editors who will take the time to understand your project and offer genuine suggestions to improve it. The work is done in a timely manner and communication is efficient. If I ever need editing services again, I will use them again without a doubt.
