Ardent Editing provides clean, grammatically correct, and stylistically consistent versions of your text. From manuscripts to dissertations, theses, transcriptions, and ghostwriting, Ardent Editing will meet and exceed your needs.

Versatile Styles

Chicago, MLA, AP, APA—each style has its own idiosyncrasies, and every publishing house and educational institution has its own special exceptions on top of those. Ardent Editing can ensure your chosen style is implemented comprehensively.

Clear and Precise Feedback

Ardent Editing provides tracked changes to make sure every change is recorded. Comments are also offered to improve writing and guide authors in polishing up while maintaining their own voices. More substantive feedback is given when requested, but the original intent of the author is always at the forefront.

The editor’s charge is to make sure that the words written will be comprehensible to those who read them. Communication. No small aim.
