The InPrint Editing Team provides feedback on all forms of written scientific communication, including manuscripts, grants, abstracts, personal statements, and more! Review our services below and select the appropriate option(s) when you submit your work. If your work does not fall into one of these categories, contact us to discuss whether your work is eligible for our editing services!

We offer editing services for all stages of writing, which include organization of content and conceptual analysis, writing structure and clarity, and copy editing. Additionally, we offer editing for English language use, word count reduction, and figure feedback. After consecutive editing from at least two editors, you receive track changes and a summary of the edits in a cover letter.

Primary Services

Organization of Content

This type of editing is for early stages of writing. Editors will provide feedback on the structure and organization of the document rather than on the details.

Writing Structure and Clarity

This type of editing is for documents that already have good structural organization but need to be honed for clear, concise writing.

Copy Editing

This service is for near-final documents. Editors will carefully read your work to identify and correct minor, detailed issues.

Add-on Services

English Language Use

This service is specifically for non-native English speakers and can be requested in conjunction with any of our other services. Editors will pay special attention to proper English grammar and usage.
