Early draft editing (also called substantive editing or structural editing) strengthens the foundation of your work. It marks the beginning of your editing and proofreading journey and ensures that your writing is developing well.
Our early draft editors are subject-matter experts who can offer field-specific insight into your work. They provide a mix of engaged critical commentary and structural edits, and their work is further strengthened by our best-in-class artificial intelligence technology.

I use your service for structural editing, and it has been outstanding. The editors do a great job of ensuring a document flows well and has a consistent voice when there are multiple authors. Thank you for helping me create educational content for students and entrepreneurs.
