“My editor was fantastic. Since I am an international student, I needed help with wordiness, verb use and awkward sentences. Without changing my idea, the editor suggested correction and indicated where revision was necessary. He also offered better use of words suitable to academic papers. Very recommended.”

Mirit E.

"I am very pleased with AJE's English editing service. I have used this service in all my publications, and I am excited to use it again. I can say that AJE's work is critical because the review identifies errors that are not obvious to those who have English as a second language. The team is accessible throughout the review process, has a high level of technicality and professionalism, so I acknowledge AJE's merit for significantly improving the quality of my manuscripts. I highly recommend their services"

The AJE Guarantee

We strive to give you the best possible service for your academic manuscript.

100% satisfaction guarantee

The completed manuscript you receive from AJE’s editing services is covered by our editing guarantee. We guarantee that if you are not satisfied with the editing of your manuscript or if a journal mentions English language errors, we will re-edit your document for free.

Discounted Standard Editing

For Standard Editing, material added to your paper after our editors work on your manuscript is not included in this guarantee. For this reason, we recommend that you send us your final draft when you order our services. If you need to add content or make substantial changes after receiving comments from the journal editor or reviewers, you may resubmit your paper for a discounted re-edit. Our Premium Editing service provides more robust editing support designed for customers seeking a greater degree of assistance with their manuscript. We will also continue to re-edit your document for free until it has been published.

Reach out with your concerns

Although a relatively rare occurrence, if a journal mentions English as a problem in a manuscript that we edited, we want to know. Please contact us with the file that you sent to the journal and all the comments from the journal. Our empathetic customer service team will reply within one United States business day to explain how we can help you.

Provide us with examples

If you are ever unhappy with our editing, we will work with you until you are satisfied. In such cases, please contact our customer support via any of our support channels and provide one or two specific examples or a few details about what is unsatisfactory. We will be happy to work with you to find the best solution.
