Editing Services
What our freelance editors will do for you
Our editing and proofreading services begin by building a solid foundation for flawless writing, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation corrections. From there, our editors enhance style and tone consistency, improve clarity and flow, and refine structural elements to strengthen your message. They also perform reference and citation checks when applicable, and offer thoughtful feedback to ensure your writing is compelling and impactful.
Stay In Contact
Communicate with your editor anytime
We understand that clear, open communication is essential to successful editing. That’s why we offer flexible, accessible ways to stay connected with your chosen editor—ensuring a collaborative and personalized experience before, during, and after your project. Whether you need a quick answer via message or a detailed discussion through a teleconference call, your editor is always just a message or call away.
Our Pricing Perspective
Transparent editing prices
With ServiceScape, pricing is clear and simple. Each editor’s profile displays their rates, so you can understand the cost upfront and choose a service that fits your budget. We believe in a transparent pricing approach—rates are based solely on your selected due date, not the subject matter, your writing proficiency, or the level of editing required. That means no complicated, multi-tiered pricing systems—just one consistent rate tied to your deadline.
Reliable Delivery
Delivering your edited work on time, every time
We are experienced in managing workloads and delivering results ahead of schedule, and we guarantee your project will be completed before the due date. Whether you need a one-hour edit for an urgent task or a multi-week turnaround for a large-scale project, our editing services can accommodate your timeline. With tens of thousands of on-time projects as proof, we ensure that—regardless of size or complexity—your work is always returned promptly.
Understanding Your Subject
Editors who cover a wide range of disciplines
Whether your project is in academia, creative writing, science, admissions, business, or another specialized field, we have an editor who is not only familiar with your subject but deeply versed in its unique nuances, terminology, and methodology. This level of subject-matter expertise ensures your work is handled by someone who understands the intricacies of your discipline—providing edits and insights that go beyond surface-level feedback.
