Write Labs is a professional academic editing service. We have years of experience in writing and polishing scientific papers and other academic documents.
Science is hard work. After spending months or even years collecting data, do you want poor English or sloppy writing to prevent you from publishing in the top academic journals? Let us help you in the final stages of manuscript preparation so you can present your work in the best possible light.
Document types
We edit mainly academic journal submissions in the life sciences, but we also work on other document types. These include, but are not limited to the following:
- Journal articles
- Grant proposals
- Cover letters (and other types of correspondence)
- Annual reports
- Departmental brochures and promotional materials
- Presentations
- Curriculum vitae
- Departmental or Lab websites
Document formats
At Write Labs we realize authors use many different tools and workflows. Thus, we try to remain as flexible as possible.
We accept the following document types:
- LaTeX, Markdown, plaintext
- Google Docs
- Microsoft Word, Apple’s Pages, RTF
- Powerpoint or Keynote
If your preferred file format or online writing tool is not on the list, just ask. Hopefully, we will be able to accomodate you.
