Flatpage offers academic editing for students, researchers, and professors at universities and other scholarly institutions. We work with academic writers on dissertations and theses, journal articles, and single- and multi-author books for university presses and scholarly publishers.
Scholars speak a special language and need to convey strong ideas to advance their fields. Whether you need help developing an argument or cleaning up a manuscript for publication, we’re here to assist with high-quality editing at a fast turnaround.
Our academic editors have PhDs in various subject areas, as well as specialized training and/or years of experience as professors at top universities across the United States and United Kingdom. Many of our editors are current and former professors; some have even been department chairs.
Our professional editors help authors in the humanities and social sciences, including but not limited to the following fields:
-
Coaching
Coaching provides authors with a tailored, 1:1 experience with a trained professional who can assist in strategizing your manuscript as a whole, crafting your research into a digestible and engaging narrative, and providing accountability and moral support throughout the writing process. It’s ideal for authors who need help beyond the manuscript itself.

Developmental Editing
Developmental editing will help you shape the content of your document so that your contribution takes center stage. Our developmental editors have served as managing editors of academic journals and published widely. We can help you shape the argument, evidence, organization, and flow of your manuscript.

Line editing
Line editing is used to address the style of your writing so that it has maximal impact. Our line editors are experts at the craft of writing and have published widely themselves. We can help you maintain a consistent tone, improve word choice, identify text to be cut or expanded upon, and write clear sentences in native English.

Copyediting
Copyediting involves a rinse of your manuscript, with attention to grammar, punctuation, and mechanics (i.e., conforming it to house style or manual like the Chicago Manual of Style). Whether you’re a novice or experienced writer, this service will ensure that you deliver a clean document to your respective publisher, journal editor, or advisory committee.

Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage in the publication process and is reserved for minor typos and consistency between manuscript sections on page proofs. By the time you are ready for a proofread, your manuscript should have already gone through a content (developmental) edit and a copyedit. This service will ensure that your manuscript is publication-ready.

Indexing
Our trained indexers can help you create a guide to your book’s contents so that readers can find important information as quickly and easily as possible. Alongside their final read of the book’s page proofs and compilation of names, terms, and themes, the indexer will also generate a list of errata for your publisher.
