When it comes to editing, proofreading and writing services, Dr Paul Vincent aka Doctor Edit has the best medicine for your words, whatever the topic. 

Being able to tailor my services to your precise needs is something I pride myself on.

Hire a published academic to proofread your academic writing

Since 2008, I have proofread roughly 250 theses (PhDs, master’s, honours, etc.) and research reports. In addition, I have provided academic editing and proofreading services to university faculty based in Australasia, Europe, North America and Asia. I have assisted many academics in getting their articles published in prestigious journals.

I specialise in assisting authors with English as a second language to meet the submission requirements of academic journals. After my editing, your writing will read like a native English writer’s.

As a published academic myself, my research on Shakespeare, specifically the authorship debates surrounding the early history plays, has appeared in leading international journals. My PhD thesis was published as When Harey Met Shakespeare: The Genesis of The First Part of Henry the Sixth (VDM Verlag, 2008). 

Hundreds of Ivy League books copyedited since 2012

Through Westchester Publishing Services, which is based in Connecticut, I have copyedited around 200 books published by Ivy League universities such as Harvard, Princeton and Yale.  I have also worked on a range of books by publishers such as Routledge, Radcliffe (medical) and the Wharton School Press (business).

Titles I’ve copyedited include Umberto Eco, From the Tree to the Labyrinth: Historical Studies on the Sign and Interpretation (Harvard University Press, 2014) and Frank Krutnik, Thrillers, Chillers, and Killers: Radio and Film Noir (Rutgers University Press, 2025). My versatility has seen me work on books as varied as The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant (Harvard University Press, 2017) and Angela Jackson’s The Win-Win Workplace: How Thriving Employees Drive Bottom-Line Success (Berrett-Koehler, 2025).

Doctor Edit writes too!

I am also the author of children’s favourite Boswell Bunny and the Magic Carrot. Written after the birth of my son, it’s about a quick-thinking rabbit who saves the day when his little cousin’s magic trick falls flat.
