Editing an essay is mostly deciding what to move and what to delete. The sentences are usually fine. The problem is that paragraph six holds the actual argument and it sits behind five hundred words of throat-clearing that felt necessary while you wrote it.
An editor reads the entire draft once and then goes back to do the editing. You’ll receive a version of your draft with tracked changes and a cover letter which will explain the edits so that the next draft you submit will not require the same edits.
You learn more from an edit than from a grade because an edit is specific. An example is a comment that states this paragraph restates something you said in the introduction. This gives you an action item. A mark out of a hundred does not. This is why reading every tracked change is needed instead of accepting them all.
Grammar tools smooth out text and remove hedging. As a result, using the data suggests becomes the data shows. In this case, in this sample becomes redundant. In academic writing, those words are the claim’s insurance policy, and losing them would reduce the mark for overstatement.
To start, I focus on piece structure, the flow and order of ideas to ensure the exercise asks a question, and if the answer is clearly stated at the end. The next pass is line by line for salience, where phrasing is the most important, and where phrasing is repetitive, it is deleted. Anything the editor thinks is incorrect and would require the invention of new content becomes a query.
Before you place an order, check your department’s rules. Most departments allow editing and proofreading of work you wrote yourself. However, they do not allow other writers to submit work based on your argument. If we receive requests to rewrite work, we flag these requests to our clients. If an edit would involve new writing on your part, the editor would flag the request.

No. The idea is to have your natural style in your writing do what you want, not to replace it with a house style. Where a sentence is just odd, and not unclear, the editor notes it and offers you the alternative which you may take or reject.

Knowledge of the subject was excellent. The timings, however, were not. Three activities that would easily take fifty minutes were allotted thirty minutes time, which is something all teachers would notice. It was fixed after I mentioned it. Everything else, particularly the differentiation notes, saved our team a lot of time.
The content was clearly well organized. I asked for Harvard style referencing, but it was returned to me in APA style, which took one email and maybe half a workday to fix. That work, particularly the way it handled counterarguments, was unparalleled. The detection reports came along too, which is standard for my department.
I had hit a wall on two papers behind paywalls. Rather than skipping them or paraphrasing the abstracts, the writer found the accessible preprints, used those, and said so in a note. Small thing. It is the thing that told me a person did this.
