Practically, most LLM editing software actually introduces more mistakes than it corrects. It is also is only capable of handling shorter lengths of text, and is incapable of preserving the voice of the author. You can look at a comprehensive review here.

Ethically, AI has a wide variety of problems. As is already well known, LLMs are extremely taxing on local ecosystems, aquifers, power grids, and economies. Money spent on LLMs primarily supports distant billionaires and is unlikely to ever reenter the Athens economy. DEWS on the other hand is based in Athens, is mostly a threat to ham sandwiches and apples, and will continue to circulate money in the Athens community.

Whether you’re submitting to Nature, The Paris Review, the PMLA, or any other large journal, there will be strict guidelines for submission. Furthermore, clarity of writing is paramount for reviewers to take your work seriously. Professional copy editing can ensure that you both meet guidelines, and have clear, interesting text.

When editing is done well, it’s a bit like magic. Readers will find themselves liking work more without being able to entirely tell why.

DEWS is accredited by the American Copy Editors Society (ACES), and we are capable of editing a wide variety of work. This work includes:

• Academic writing in most fields including journal articles and dissertations

• Bibliographies

• Creative Fiction and Non-fiction

• Cover letters and applications

• and more

Book a free consultation with us to discuss what you’d like us to edit, or check our Areas of Expertise tab.

Reach out either through our contact form, or directly by means of our email and phone number.

Once you contact us, we’ll get back to you ASAP. Then, you and one of our copy editors can discuss both what you need edited and your goals for the piece over email, the phone, or coffee. Finally, DEWS will give you a timeline and begin editing, communicating with you throughout the process.

We base our prices off of the editorial rates of the Editorial Freelancers Association. However, we understand that many grad students at UGA have limited incomes. Discuss your economic situation with us, and we may be able to reduce your rate.

The amount of people commissioning DEWS fluctuates, and we operate on a first come first served basis. During our consultation, we will discuss where you are in the queue, and how long you can expect editing to take, but depending on the length of the text, you can usually expect 1-4 weeks. For an extra fee, we are also willing to expedite your editing.
