About Id Est Editing
Id Est Editing provides high-quality editing services for businesses, academia, and the intersection between the two. We have editing experience in many different disciplines, including engineering, the sciences, the social sciences, humanities, and the arts.
Based in Anaheim, California, we bring many years of experience as editors as well as practical experience in both academia and many different types of engineering companies. However, we are always pushing ourselves to learn the latest techniques and technologies. This allows us to provide the highest quality services to our clients in an individualized manner that fits your needs and goals.
We are dedicated to understanding and respecting your unique objectives and voice, and we treat all projects with the care and respect they deserve. Our name, “Id Est Editing,” comes from the words that make up the abbreviation, “i.e.” We like to think of it as “in other words,” partnering with you so that your ideas and expertise are presented in the best possible way without changing the inherent meaning.
