Types of English

For editing services, you will be asked to select a type of English. This determines the dictionary your editor uses for prose-level changes.

  • American English: Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary
  • British English: Oxford English Dictionary
  • Canadian English: Oxford Canadian Dictionary

Our editors always default to the Chicago Manual of Style for fiction.

Please specify any additional style requirements in your editing brief.
