Expertise in academic editing services
The Expert Editor has considerable experience in assisting both English as a Second Language (ESL) and native-English speaking students and academics to successfully publish their work.
Our academic editors have strong tertiary qualifications and diverse skill sets as professional editors. Most have PhDs from Australian universities and have worked in the education system for many years. With a large team of editors, we have expertise in a range of academic disciplines, including life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine, engineering, economics, law, psychology, and many more.
As Australian editors, they also know the expectations of Australian universities for quality writing. Most importantly, they also have the technical ability to help our clients meet them.
Our editors are equally adept at British/Australian English and American English and are experts in all the major referencing styles.
Clients choose the return date
Most other editing companies charge substantially more for a shorter turnaround. We believe that this is unfair.
Our clients can nominate a return date that suits them and the price will always remain the same. We understand that students and academics often have tight deadlines for submission and therefore we work hard to accommodate them.

Ethics and confidentiality
The Expert Editor complies with the guidelines set out by the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) in relation to academic editing for students. Therefore, a student can be certain that working with us will not contravene their university’s rules.
Client confidentiality is taken seriously as we understand that academic work may contain original and sensitive information. We outline the steps that have been taken to ensure client confidentiality in our Privacy Policy.
We can also sign a non-disclosure agreement for extra peace of mind.
