What does “non-native author” mean on this page?
It simply refers to an author who writes academic work in English as an additional language. Editing is based on your document, not on assumptions about your nationality or first language.
Is this the same as translation?
No. You submit an English draft. The editor improves the English already present rather than translating a complete source-language document.
Will you rewrite my paper completely?
No. Editing can restructure sentences and clarify paragraphs where needed, but your research content, data, arguments and authorship remain yours.
Can you keep my technical terminology?
Yes. Established technical terminology should be retained. If a term appears inconsistent or unclear, the editor can flag it rather than substitute an unsupported alternative.
Do you edit reviewer responses and cover letters?
Yes. These can be edited for concise, professional academic English after you have prepared the substantive content.
How is the final quote determined?
Displayed prices are starting rates per 1,000 words. The final quote is confirmed from word count, editing level, document condition and deadline before work begins.
Can English editing guarantee acceptance?
No. Clear language supports evaluation, but acceptance depends on research quality, journal fit, editorial judgment and peer review.
