How it works

The full path from a first draft to an acceptance letter. Most manuscripts need three or four of these steps, not all six.

The publication path

Six steps, and you can stop after any of them

  1. 01. Assessment

    We read the manuscript and tell you what is standing between it and acceptance — language, structure, statistics, or scope.

  2. 02. Language editing

    A subject-matter editor works through the manuscript in tracked changes, with a comment against every judgement call.

  3. 03. Statistical review

    A biostatistician checks that the tests match the design and that the reported figures support the claims.

  4. 04. Journal selection

    We shortlist journals by scope fit, indexing, turnaround and realistic acceptance odds — and explain the reasoning for each.

  5. 05. Submission

    Formatting to the target journal, cover letter, and the submission itself if you would rather not handle the portal.

  6. 06. Response to reviewers

    We help you answer the review letter point by point, including the points you intend to push back on.

01

Assessment

We read the manuscript and tell you what is standing between it and acceptance — language, structure, statistics, or scope.

You get a written assessment, not a quote. If the problem is the science rather than the sentences, we say so before you spend anything.

02

Language editing

A subject-matter editor works through the manuscript in tracked changes, with a comment against every judgement call.

You see every change and can reject any of them. Nothing is rewritten silently.

03

Statistical review

A biostatistician checks that the tests match the design and that the reported figures support the claims.

Optional, and worth it when reviewers have previously raised methods questions.

04

Journal selection

We shortlist journals by scope fit, indexing, turnaround and realistic acceptance odds — and explain the reasoning for each.

The shortlist names journals we think will reject you too, and why that is worth knowing.

05

Submission

Formatting to the target journal, cover letter, and the submission itself if you would rather not handle the portal.

Each journal has its own house style. We apply it rather than handing you a checklist.

06

Response to reviewers

We help you answer the review letter point by point, including the points you intend to push back on.

A well-argued rebuttal turns more revisions into acceptances than a compliant one.

Nothing is bundled

Join at any step, stop at any step

If your manuscript has already been edited and you only want the journal shortlist, buy that. If you are holding a review letter and need help answering it, start at the last step. There is no package you have to break up to get the part you need.

Timing

What each step costs you in days

The assessment comes back within one working day. A standard manuscript is edited in three to five, and shorter turnarounds are available. We confirm the date when we quote, and we hold to it.
