How We Deliver Our Work
A clear overview of our editorial and writing deliverables, tailored to each type of collaboration.

Umbrella Linguistics works with academic, cultural, and institutional projects that require clarity, structure, and editorial responsibility. This page outlines what clients receive when engaging our services, ensuring transparency, consistency, and informed collaboration.

Editorial & Proofreading Deliverables

When working as proofreaders or editors, Umbrella Linguistics delivers a comprehensive editorial kit designed to support clarity, coherence, and informed revision at every stage of the writing process.

What you receive

• Edited manuscript
  A revised version of the document with corrections and edits applied according to the agreed scope. Changes are made using tracked revisions or equivalent marking systems to ensure full transparency.

• Editorial comments and notes
  Contextual comments throughout the text explaining editorial decisions, identifying recurring issues, and offering guidance on clarity, structure, tone, and disciplinary conventions.

• Style and consistency review
  A systematic review of spelling, punctuation, terminology, and formatting, aligned with the relevant style guide (e.g. Chicago, MLA, APA, Oxford) or institutional standards.

• Editorial summary (when applicable)
  A concise report outlining the work undertaken, key patterns observed, and recommendations for further revision or future stages of the project.

Delivery format

Files are delivered in editable formats (Word, Google Docs, or PDF, as agreed), and may include both a version with visible edits and a clean version upon request.

Editorial Responsibility and Ethical Practice

Across all projects, Umbrella Linguistics maintains a strong commitment to editorial integrity and ethical practice. Deliverables are designed to support and strengthen the client’s work, not to replace authorship, accountability, or scholarly responsibility.

We do not guarantee publication outcomes, nor do we engage in practices that conflict with academic or institutional ethical standards.
