Our PhD-Educated Editors Are Experts in Bluebook Formatting
Formatting your document can be a time consuming and arduous process. Save time and let us do it for you. The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation—often referred to simply as The Bluebook—is an internationally used legal citation system. The majority of U.S. law schools and U.S. federal courts use The Bluebook; however, it is an intimidating style guide for both students and experienced members of the law profession as it is complex and frequently updated. We have several PhD-educated editors who are experts in Bluebook formatting, who could format your document for you, correctly, the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit to using a firm like yours, rather than a freelance editor?
There are several advantages to doing business with a professional firm instead of a freelancer. Here are a few:
Quality: We specialise in editing theses and only hire doctorates from highly ranked University's. Every day, our staff review, edit, and format students’ theses. Not only are our editors and statisticians experienced, but each individual was hired through a rigorous screening process to ensure our clients receive the highest level of quality services. It is easy for a freelance editor to say what they want about themselves and their abilities; we’ve professionally trained and tested our staff to ensure they have the skills required to maintain the quality our clients have come to expect.
No Missed Deadlines: Freelance editors are known for failing to meet deadlines or disappearing after payment. This is often because freelance editors can only take on a few projects at a time, and if they become too busy, they may not prioritise your order over other clients’ orders. With a professional firm, you’re assured that your deadline will be met. If your editor or consultant becomes ill or is unable to complete the order, we would simply replace them with another one of our PhD staff.
Flexibility: Every person is unique and comes with their own personality and stylistic preferences. If you find that you’re not connecting with your editor or consultant, we can replace them with another editor, at no extra cost, to ensure that you’re completely satisfied.
Longevity: We are an accredited business, here for the long run, whether you need us today, tomorrow, or next year. We aren’t going anywhere.
Are your services confidential?
Yes, absolutely. All of your interactions and the work that we do for you are 100% confidential. Please let us know if you would like us to send you our Confidentiality Agreement.
Are you willing to sign a contract?
Of course! Once we agree to the general terms, we would be happy to draw up a contract and send it to you for review and approval.
How long does it take to format a thesis?
The turnaround time varies, depending on the complexity of each order. We will provide you with the exact turnaround time for your specific order when we send you your quote and offer of services. Generally, documents containing fewer than 50 pages take around 5 to 7 business days to format, whereas full-length theses may take up to 10-14 business days. We do offer expedited services at an additional cost.
What if I no longer wish to work with my assigned editor or consultant?
That’s not a problem. Although all of our professional editors and statisticians are experienced and very good at what they do, sometimes two people don’t work well together. If you feel that your editor or statistician is not meeting your expectations, please let us know, and we will assign another editor/statistician to your project.
What if there are errors left in my edited document?
While no edit is going to be 100% perfect every time, objective errors should be very rare. If you find any errors in your document, simply return the document as soon as possible and we will fix the errors free of charge.
Can you format my document using Bluebook and my institution's formatting guidelines?
Yes, of course. It is very common for universities and journal articles to have their own submission guidelines, in addition to requiring the document to adhere to a specific academic style, such as Bluebook. Where the two guidelines differ, it is common practice to defer to the institutional guidelines.
Is it possible to receive a sample edit of my own work?
Yes. Please send us the document you would like formatted and we will edit one page at no cost to you. We hope this will provide you with a good sense of our editorial style. The typical turnaround on a sample edit is two to three business days.
Do you have any samples of your own work?Can I meet with my editor in person?
Most orders do not require in-person meetings. However, we may be able to schedule in-person meetings for projects that are particularly large or involved.
Is it possible to speak with my editor over the phone, Whatsapp, or Zoom?
Yes. Our consultants and project managers are always available by phone. Many of our editing services also include a follow-up chat with your editor. If not, phone consultations can be added to any order for an additional charge. Please visit our coaching page for more details.
Will you write any part of my thesis, dissertation, or assignment for me?
No. Under no circumstances do we write content for academic submission and we unequivocally do not support plagiarism or academic dishonesty of any kind.
How does payment work?
We offer a wide range of payment plans, though a deposit is always due upfront to initiate your order, and full payment is typically expected by the time the order is complete. Some exceptions can be made for returning clients with extenuating circumstances. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.
Is editing or formatting my thesis considered cheating?
No, it is not. Many supervisor recommend their students seek professional editing assistance to ensure that the text is free of technical errors and properly formatted. The service we provide focuses on improving the mechanics and clarity of your content, rather than writing new content, which would be considered plagiarism.
