Welcome to Documedic Editing Solutions

We’re glad you’ve found us, and we hope that we can come to your rescue!

When Documedic Editing Solutions was founded in 2002, our aim was simple: do an unparalleled job of perfecting clients’ written work. We committed to fulfilling this mission with impeccable standards and uncompromising integrity, which have become the hallmarks of our business. Our editors love the English language and have a facility for its grammar, punctuation, and composition. We can’t help but notice the blunders, inaccuracies, and incoherence that get in the way of writers effectively communicating their message. Our expertise, quality, and sensitivity have afforded us the opportunity to help hundreds of clients over the years, and we’d love to extend our services to you, too. Our success has been due in large part to the referrals and repeat business we get from happy clients. We pride ourselves on our exacting standards and competitive rates, and we offer free initial consultations to new clients. Check us out — we’re confident you’ll appreciate the Documedic difference!

Testimonial

Erin, you are amazing. I just had a quick read of the master file. Wow. When you see it all together for the first time, it makes you realize just what an achievement it is. I will be delivering this to my supervisor tomorrow morning, in person. I’m looking forward to submission day. Thanks so much, Documedic! I hope to work with you again one day! (August, 2009)

The Eight Great

Why choose to collaborate with us? We’ll give you eight great reasons.

1. We know what we’re doing and we know our style guides. Intimately.

For many harried students, the need to submit papers according to APA or Chicago style is akin to loading a camel with straws. On top of other school, work, and family commitments, they understandably fret over how they will ever master pages of detailed information on everything from width of margins to comma usage, reference citations in text, presenting data in tables, and expressing numbers in words or figures. The good news is that, perhaps unbelievably, some of us on this great green earth really care to know when to use single quotation marks, when to use double, and when to italicize instead. Those of us who work for Documedic, care. Our job is to take as much of the load off your back — and your mind — as possible. Our APA and Chicago manuals have never been slammed shut in sheer exasperation. In fact, we confess that we love grammar, punctuation, and manuscript preparation, and we know our style guides as dear friends.

2. We save you time and stress.

Setting aside the onerous task of conforming to APA or Chicago style, many students are not experts in word processing, as we are. It’s stressful and time consuming for them to figure out how to insert figure captions, create a table of contents, paginate, format hanging indents, and set up heading styles — but we do it all the time. Over and over we hear from clients how relieved they are that we are minding the picky details so that they can focus on getting their research and writing done. Our clients submit with confidence, knowing that their papers are going to meet all committee expectations. That kind of peace of mind is priceless.

3. We are cost effective.

Students aren’t made of money; we get it. Your thesis will live online with your name on it for a long time, but submitting the most polished version shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. We keep costs down in three major ways:

We offer a competitive student rate. You get quality and experience for 25% less than our corporate rate.
We bill in 6-minute increments. We think it’s unethical to round up our time, so we don’t do it. Ever. You’ll never pay for time we didn’t spend working.
We have perfected a unique team approach to editing. One editor does the preliminary edits and another does the final read. This gives clients the benefit, expertise, and critical analysis of two editors, for no more than it would cost for one.

Testimonial

I am a jubilant customer and fan of Documedic! I am grateful that Documedic was recommended to me by a colleague at Royal Roads University. Documedic’s thoroughness and expertise saved me hours of valuable time and no doubt many tears. I will stand by my testimonial, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or a colleague.

4. We meet our deadlines and our promises.

We know that you have deadlines, so we don’t mess around. You can count on Documedic to manage workflow so that we deliver as promised. We’ve never missed a deadline yet. Furthermore, we stand behind our work with a strong guarantee. If we’ve done a full edit and final read on your thesis and it is not accepted on first submission with no further changes required, we’ll fix whatever is needed at no additional cost. Period.

5. We work for YOU and we’re there when you need us.

Writing a major report can be a solitary endeavour. Could you use an ally? Someone to partner with, who can advise, assist, and encourage you? Someone whose integrity is rock solid, who’s looking out for you? A good editor makes the process of putting it all together so much easier. Our editors excel at organization and detail, and we are trained in managing projects through to completion. This is done in partnership with you, giving a finished product that is highly readable, fastidiously accurate, and remarkably yours. We offer a range of services tailored to suit the needs of your particular project, from a mentoring approach that helps to teach you good writing skills, to a final polish, and just about anything in between.

Testimonial

The editing services offered by Karen Crosby are phenomenal. She is both professional and thorough. Her insights have offered me a very rich learning experience. Since using her services and receiving her brilliant writing tips, my grammar use has improved and my writing style has become more succinct. I greatly appreciate her kind guidance and strong mastery of the English language. It has truly been a pleasure to work with her. I would strongly recommend the use of her editing services.

Many of our students are online in the evenings and weekends — and so are we. We welcome questions and strive to reply to phone and email messages within one business day. In no time at all, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without us.

6. We are consumed with customer jubilation.

In our estimation, satisfaction just isn’t good enough. We want our clients to be jubilant, which encompasses many areas: work quality, responsiveness, professionalism, subject matter expertise, adherence to cost and deadlines, and continuous improvement. Check out our testimonials and survey results to see how we’re doing.

Quote

Obviously, where art has it over life is in the matter of editing. Life can be seen to suffer from a drastic lack of editing. It stops too quick, or else it goes on too long. Worse, its pacing is erratic. Some chapters are little more than a few sentences in length, while others stretch into volumes. Life, for all its raw talent, has little sense of structure. It creates amazing textures, but it can’t be counted on for snappy beginnings or good endings either. Indeed, in many cases no ending is provided at all.

7. We offer free consultations.

Send us any document or link to a website and we’ll give you a complimentary evaluation with absolutely no obligation. Really!

8. We pay referral fees.

Our business has grown tremendously over the years, in large part to the many referrals we get from clients. We decided that putting our money where our mouth was and paying referral fees would be the right thing to do. If we get a client thanks to your referral, we’ll happily pay you 10% of revenue over the life of the client.
