About Academic Editorial Services
Academic Editorial Services (AES) was established by Tina Thornton in 1999 in Samford, Queensland and is now based in Huonville, Tasmania. With a comprehensive background in editing formal writing projects throughout her career as an academic, Tina can offer a discerning eye for detail, sound understanding of the intricacies of English expression, and extensive familiarity with writing to meet publication or assessment requirements.
Tina's thirty years' experience in health and education ensures that writing projects in these areas receive the attention to terminology and style they require. During the past eight years, a wide diversity of topics and projects have been successfully proofread and edited and these are listed on the past projects page.
Clients include individuals and groups from universities, government departments, private businesses, professional journals, academics undertaking funded research projects, as well as national and international undergraduate and postgraduate students from many different discipline areas.
Tina's qualifications are based in nursing, education, curriculum development and evaluation, and editing.

- You can have confidence in many years' experience in tertiary education settings, research and writing for publication.
- Ultimately, you will decide if AES are the right editors for you based on the sample you send for proofreading and editing review. If you like the style and comments, then you can feel comfortable trusting AES to edit your total document.
- Flexibility is offered in large projects-if you prefer to submit chapters as they are finished or AES can accept the total document as one file.
- Helpful comments are provided about your work, but AES does not waste your time with grammatical explanations that may be unneeded at this stage.
- Academic Editorial Services prides itself on being able to deal with the detail but also seeing the whole of the project.
- Any freelance editors who undertake work for AES have completed a review of their editing skills and competence so clients can feel confident they have the abilities this type of work requires. Your permission will be sought before outsourcing any work and this is only done when there are time constraints or if specialist insight to your area would be useful.
- AES aims to maintain the author's own style and avoids suggesting unnecessary changes.
- Academic Editorial Services uses the Australian Standards for Editing Practice issued by the Australian Societies of Editors to reflect the knowledge and skills required within editing processes.
