Essayedge editing service gives me advice on how to make my essay stronger and stand out, not just the grammar and wording advice that most editing services provide. Thank you Linda!

The editing suggestions were thorough and definitely improved the essay. The editor took care to understand the story I was trying to tell, and suggested details that would make my narrative stronger. It was so much more than just proofreading, and I am very please.

I am very satisfied with your services. I liked that the editor gave me some comments on each of paragraphs in addition to the edits. This will help me to improve my writing skills.

Another person's perspective on my essay gave me insight about the importance of adding personal details. In my head, what I wrote seemed detailed, but not to the reader.
