The draft is already structurally sound; what I need now is a careful pass that corrects minor errors, smooths awkward phrasing, ensures consistency in terminology, and aligns citations with the standard academic style used in economics journals. I will supply the tex document in word—roughly 20, 000 words—along with any reference materials you might need. Please work in Track Changes so I can review every modification, and deliver a clean, final version once all edits are accepted. Acceptance criteria: • All edits visible in Track Changes • No unresolved grammatical, spelling, or punctuation issues • Consistent application of economic terminology and citation style • Clean copy free of markup for submission Kindly include a brief note on your relevant experience with academic texts in economics and an estimated turnaround time.

Economics manuscripts demand precision across terminology, citation consistency, and scholarly tone—three elements that often slip through during self-review. This 20,000-word copy edit requires someone who understands how economic journals standardize references and maintain disciplinary voice while correcting surface-level errors. Over 6 years, I've edited 200+ academic manuscripts across economics, finance, and business research. I work exclusively in Track Changes, ensuring every modification remains visible and reversible. My process isolates grammar and punctuation issues separately from terminology consistency checks, then aligns citations with journal standards—typically APA or Chicago for economics submissions. Turnaround: 7-10 business days for a 20,000-word manuscript with this scope. Deliverables include the edited .docx file with all changes tracked, a summary note of stylistic decisions made, and a clean final version once you've approved revisions. The manuscript stays structurally intact. Only clarity, consistency, and submission-readiness improve.

You have a 20,000-word economics manuscript that's already in good shape. You need a light edit that fixes grammar, punctuation, and clarity without changing your voice. That's exactly the kind of edit I do. I'd work fully in Track Changes, so you see and approve every change. I'd fix the small errors, smooth only the lines that truly need it, and leave your argument and style alone. I'd also check that your economic terms stay consistent and that your citations match the style economics journals expect. Once you accept the edits, I'd hand back a clean, ready-to-submit version that meets all four of your criteria. I've published peer-reviewed academic work myself, so I know scholarly tone, citations, and how to edit lightly without stepping on an author's voice. For a light edit this size, I'd estimate 5 to 7 days, and I can go faster if your deadline is tight. Have you confirmed which citation style the target journal uses, so I match it from the first pass?
