A short before and after

Original

It is important to note that the findings may indicate a shift in reading habits (Ortiz, 2018).

Revision

The findings may indicate a shift in reading habits (Ortiz, 2018).

The filler opening goes; the hedge "may" and the citation stay exactly as written. Written by hand for illustration.

What the editor protects

  • Your thesis and line of argument
  • Evidence and factual claims as you supplied them
  • Quotations, citations and source references
  • Disciplinary terminology
  • Hedging and degrees of certainty
  • Your choice of Faithful, Exact Length or Tighten

Detect, Rework, Deep Scan and Fidelity Review

  1. 01

    Detect

    The passage is read first — its field, register, level, intended reader and your own voice — before a single word is changed.

  2. 02

    Rework

    The prose is refined with restraint: diction, rhythm, mechanical transitions and repetitive openings, with your substance untouched.

  3. 03

    Deep Scan

    An adversarial pass challenges the revision, names the passages that still read mechanically and sends only those back for targeted correction.

  4. 04

    Fidelity Review

    A final check tests whether the information you supplied survives the edit, and reports the word count honestly: Faithful lets length change naturally, Exact Length must hit its target or show Review required, and Tighten must shorten without losing protected details.

Responsible use in academic work

Lev-Al Prose edits prose you have already written; it does not research, draft or invent material on your behalf. Institutions, supervisors and publishers each set their own rules on editing assistance, and you remain responsible for following the ones that apply to your work and for disclosing help where disclosure is expected.
