Frequently Asked Questions

What services does SecondEdits.com provide?

SecondEdits.com provides comprehensive copyediting services to our clients. Copyediting is the art making sure your writing says what you want it to say, from the micro to the macro.

We’re happy to tailor our level of editing to your needs, from a quick-and-dirty edit to intensive editing. We are also mindful of your audience, and will edit with a particular tone and level of complexity in mind.

How long does it take for SecondEdits.com to complete edits?

Usually, you will receive edits by the next business day, and often our turnaround is even faster. For large submissions, please note any deadlines or timelines during first contact — we will do our best to accommodate.

Can’t I just use AI tools?

AI-powered tools (such as ChatGPT/Gemini or Grammarly) are not substitutes for copy editors. Trust us, we’ve tried. They are word-predicting software that lack the nuance of an experienced copyeditor.

Every client we serve gets 100% human copyediting, we guarantee it. And as humans, we understand the sensitivity and flexibility required to produce high-quality work that preserves the individual voice and expertise of the authors who wrote it.

Does SecondEdits.com do fact checking?

SecondEdits.com is not a fact checking service. As in standard for the industry, we will correct obvious factual errors but are not responsible for specialized fact or source checking.
