Who are Charlesworth Author Services?

We understand the importance of your research and its publication. At Charlesworth Author Services, we offer a variety of packages for academic authors in order to improve the quality, clarity and readability of your written English - thus maximising your publication success. 

Unlike most academic author and editing services, our editors always have PhDs (or equivalent) in your chosen disciplines, with native-level English and a first-hand understanding of the publication process. As a result, our editors understand your subject’s technical language and can ensure it is edited properly with this in mind, keeping your writing clear, concise and scientifically accurate. 

Our editing and support services not only help academics to get published - they also streamline the academic publication process by improving the quality of submissions editors and publishers receive. We are recommended by some of the world’s top scientific publications and institutions, including The Royal Society, The American Mathematical Society, The Royal Society, The American Mathematical Society, The Royal Society of Chemistry and more - and we are proud members of the Committee of Publication Ethics.
