Looking for an editor who can read your intentions, not just your words?
Dr Paul Vincent aka Doctor Edit has the best medicine for your words, whatever the topic. Being able to tailor my editing, proofreading and writing services to your precise needs – academic, business, fiction or non-fiction – is something I pride myself on.
Hire a published academic as your proofreader or editor
As a proofreader, I have worked on roughly 250 theses (PhDs, master’s, honours, etc.) and research reports since 2008. In addition, I have provided academic editing and proofreading services to university faculty based in Australasia, Europe, North America and Asia. I have also assisted many academics in getting their articles published in prestigious journals.
My research on Shakespeare has appeared in leading international journals. In 2008, my PhD thesis was published as When Harey Met Shakespeare: The Genesis of The First Part of Henry the Sixth (VDM Verlag).
Hundreds of books published by Ivy League universities edited
Through Westchester Publishing Services, which is based in Connecticut, I have copy edited around 200 academic and trade books since 2012. These were 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 copy edited 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 has the cure for writer’s block
I have extensive experience with business writing. Whether it’s promotional materials, blog posts, web copy, or reports, I can help you take your communications to the next level. I’ve also developed style guides for companies in a range of sectors.
I can help you turn your draft memoir into a polished narrative. I’ll ensure that the final product not only conveys your message but also resonates with readers. Wherever your memoir sits in the editing process, I’ll ensure every element contributes to a powerful and engaging narrative.
Doctor Edit writes too!
I am also the author of children’s favourite Boswell Bunny and the Magic Carrot, illustrated by Marilyn Brackett. It’s about a quick-thinking rabbit who saves the day when his cousin’s magic trick falls flat.

EDITING
Editing maximises the potential of your writing, improving the connection between you and your intended audience. Depending on how close your document is to its final form, it will need copy editing, line editing or developmental editing.

Proofreading is the final check of a written text before it’s published or submitted. With decades of experience as a proofreader, I can ensure your writing is as polished as possible.
