I know what it feels like to be drowning in to-dos.

When I was a professor, I worked seven days a week and still didn’t have enough time for my research. I also felt lost when it came to submitting my articles to journals and writing a book proposal. I had no idea that an academic editor could help me achieve my goals.

I also know what it takes to excel in academia.

During my 15 years as an academic, I landed two tenure-track jobs and a VAP position. I also published several peer-reviewed articles and a book on the #MeToo movement. Since I began editing full time in 2020, I’ve revised over 60 books and more than 1,000 documents.

I’ve helped hundreds of scholars at schools including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Providence College, the University of Florida, and the University of Maine to lighten their workload. I do this by proofreading your manuscript, revising your references, formatting your text, and wrapping up the final submission details so you can turn to other tasks—or enjoy some genuine time off.

Editing & Formatting

We polish your writing and prepare your document for submission, including formatting, references, and tables of contents. We take care of every detail so you don’t have to.

Editing Help and Academic Coaching

At Acadia Editing Services, we know you want to do it all: land a tenure-track job, publish your research, and spend time with family and cherished friends. To do that, you need the knowledge to prepare attention-grabbing job market materials, choose the right journal for your paper, and craft a book proposal that sells your manuscript to the publisher. If you’re a senior scholar, getting published isn’t the challenge; it’s finding the time to get everything done.

The problem is that many junior faculty were never taught how to publish, and you don’t have the time to figure it out on your own. This is understandably frustrating and exhausting. We believe that academic publishing doesn’t have to be so overwhelming. We understand the struggle to balance teaching, research, and service, which is why we’ve worked with hundreds of faculty and grad students to help them navigate the job market and get published.

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Tell us about your goals. Do you need academic editing, formatting help, or advice on the whole process? Are you writing a book, journal article, job market materials, or a tenure portfolio? What’s your timeline for submission?
  2. Review our quote. Let us know how we can help you and fit your budget. You always know what the cost will be before we begin work. We also accept institutional funds (e.g., research funding and grants paid through your department or university).
  3. Book our services. We polish and format your document while you focus on other tasks. Payment is due when we’ve finished editing or when coaching begins.

So, message us now. And in the meantime, think about your academic and publishing goals, review our FAQs, and check out these mocktails, which you can sip on your deck while we reformat your references list.
