Send us your academic manuscripts, journal articles, books, grants, or dissertations.

Premium

Purpose

Cooperation over competition

Transparency

Our editors and their credentials are always directly available for our clients. Our compensation to editors is also transparent.

Reliability

Our editors have advanced degrees in diverse fields. You can be confident that your writing is being handled by the best people.

Alternative Enterprise

Ocean Editors is not obligated to maximize profit for shareholders. This empowers us to provide clients with lower prices and simultaneously provide better compensation for our respected editors.

Story

Why Ocean Editors is an alternative enterprise

  • Traditional English language editing companies charge high prices to clients, while their editors receive low compensation.

  • ...but editors have the skills and credentials that make these companies valuable. Why aren't editors paid appropriately?

  • The profit maximization obligation of traditional businesses forces traditional enterprises to pay their editors low percentages to create an artificial surplus for owners.

  • Instead, our purpose is to connect clients with editors while operating with low overhead and low profit. Our social model is better for clients, journals, and our editors, and is more sustainable, more efficient, and more competitive.

    Story!

    We avoided traditional investment to pursue an alternative economy — in our interest, in your interest.

Testimonials

What our customers are saying:

“Excellent, thorough and fast - Felt like I learn more about scholarly writing from the edits and comments. Thank you.”

“Dr. Melton’s editing was phenomenal. The attention to detail was beyond what I had anticipated. Thank you so very much for your assistance with my dissertation!”

“I usually don't rate or leave reviews but such an excellent editor! Really tries to work with you rather than leaving some vague comments like ‘what does this mean? I don't understand this.’ Highly recommend!”

“I am so thankful to find an editor that is open and honest. Amazing work, very detailed, and honest. Best editor I have ever had!”

“I truly recommend him especially to the one who needs considerable and professional editing service. He read and checked my essay very carefully, and I was able to see that I got heartfelt advice. He knows the way to put contents into an essay and organize paragraphs, in accordance with intentions. I WILL ask him to edit my future writing too.”

“Very detailed orientated and high knowledge of statistics. Thanks for your suggestions and edits!”
