What file formats do you accept for editing?
You can send us your work for editing in a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) file. Rich text format (.rtf) and text (.txt) files are also accepted – these will be edited in Microsoft Word.
We can also edit your LaTeX manuscript if you send a .tex file and not a file in a proprietary format such as Overleaf.
