Editorial Services

Instant Harmony offers EDITING and PROOFREADING of English texts: theses, dissertations, books, papers, articles, lectures and Power Point slides, reports, websites, résumés and CVs, job application letters, abstracts and summaries, etc. If it’s in English, we can edit or proofread it…. 

We work with you closely, to ensure that your intentions are presented accurately and attractively.

We specialize in helping foreigners who need to submit writings in English, particularly but not only for publication.

We have an intimate knowledge of both United States and British English as well as several different citation styles.

We have the most experience of working with writings about music, but we have also edited writings about communications, history, language and literature, law, science, and social science.

David Lasocki, the co-owner of Instant Harmony, has been editing professionally for more than 30 years in addition to publishing his own writing for more than 50 years. When he worked as an academic librarian at Indiana University, he directed or supervised no fewer than 60 doctoral dissertations and taught classes in English and writing. He has worked most frequently with students from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, so he understands well their particular challenges in writing English.

Instant Harmony also offers TRANSLATING into English of texts in French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The translating can also be combined with editing, for the finest results.

Please write to us at david@instantharmony.net with details of your writing project, to obtain an estimate of the cost for Instant Harmony to edit and/or translate it.
