Student
editing services.
Editing is key to academic success and beyond.
We know how important meeting deadlines is for university and college students. But sometimes this can be challenging! Having finished writing your essay, report or final paper, often you’re left with almost no time to thoroughly read over or edit your work. And sometimes, you’re too close to your own words to step back and review them yourself. Sound familiar? Don’t let spelling, grammar or punctuation errors detract from all the time and effort you’ve spent planning and writing your essay.
This is where we step in, ensuring you get the grades you deserve!
trust the editing experts.
The copyeditors at love words editing are experts at fixing grammar and spelling mistakes even the best spellcheckers don’t see. This helps avoid embarrassing errors that boost your chance of being noticed for all the wrong reasons.
But more than error-free, essays and other university assignments & papers must be well presented, well structured and accurately referenced.
Academic referencing is demanding, and mastering the particular skills needed for one—let alone several—styles will challenge even the most proficient graduate students.
Gain the competitive edge and fast-track your study goals.
With our decade-long industry knowledge and experience in university essay writing, formatting and editing, we understand what it takes to present students’ work as best as possible. This ensures we give you the edge to achieve academic success—no matter your field of study or whether you’re a first-year, postgraduate, mature-aged or ESL student.
The benefits of professional essay editing and proofreading for students.
Editing improves your grades! More than catching typos even the best spellchecking tools miss, professional editing ensures the ideas in your essay or report are clear and concise before you submit it. It can also improve the clarity, flow and logic of your text. This increases your chances of better grades or getting accepted into your top university choice.
Do deadlines leave you little time to focus on your content? Leave the finicky editing and formatting to us. Our expert editors will format all in-text citations and references in the style guide you ask for, saving you stress and valuable time.
Editing improves your writing! Professional editing and proofreading will ensure your ideas are judged on merit, not on spelling and grammar mistakes. The detailed feedback you receive helps improve your essay-writing skills for the future.

Still undecided if
professional student essay editing
really does make a difference?
Take a look below: if only they had hired an editor!
In 2010, Penguin Australia published a cookbook that featured a recipe calling for ‘salt and freshly ground black people’. This major proofing error was racially insensitive, humiliating and cost the publishers dearly: all leftover stock was destroyed. At $3300 a letter, that’s one pricey typo!
Recently, the Reserve Bank of Australia spelled ‘responsibility’ as ‘responsibilty’ on millions of newly minted $50 notes featuring Edith Cowan, Australia’s first female MP. Future print runs saw the error fixed, but the notes with their awkward typo in the small print continue to circulate!
Hyphens don’t usually score high on the list of critical punctuation. Yet, a single dash led to disaster for NASA when it launched America’s first space probe. A forgotten hyphen in the craft’s coding caused it to explode minutes after take-off—its humiliating demise cost the agency $147m!
