Our purpose
Wallace was founded to help researchers communicate strong academic work clearly in English and navigate the language-related parts of international journal publication.
Language quality
We help authors improve grammar, readability, academic tone, sentence structure, and clarity while preserving the intended research meaning.
Publication support
Our services extend beyond language editing to translation, journal selection, submission preparation, and other practical stages of the publication process.
Academic education
Wallace has also supported researchers through lectures, workshops, books, and teaching resources focused on academic English and research writing.
Built around academic manuscripts
Wallace Academic Editing was founded by Dr. Steve Wallace in 2006 after years of working with researchers who needed help presenting their work in clear academic English.
Over time, the company expanded from English manuscript editing into academic translation, journal-related support, educational programs, and publishing resources for researchers across Asia.
Subject-aware editing with quality review
Academic manuscripts require more than general English correction. Editors must understand research conventions, technical terminology, and the way arguments are presented within different disciplines.
- Editors are matched according to relevant academic background whenever possible
- Edited manuscripts undergo an additional quality-review stage
- Translation projects use a multi-stage translation, editing, and proofreading workflow
- Customer service supports communication before and after delivery
- Research manuscripts and client information are handled confidentially
About Dr. Steve Wallace
Wallace grew from Dr. Steve Wallace's work in academic English, technical writing, and manuscript editing for researchers.
From teaching to manuscript support
Dr. Wallace began editing journal manuscripts written by doctoral students in 2001. His work focused on identifying recurring English-language problems in research writing and understanding how reviewer feedback could help authors communicate their work more effectively.
He later founded Wallace Academic Editing in 2006 and developed a team-based approach to academic editing and translation.
Academic writing and education
Over the years, Dr. Wallace has delivered academic writing lectures and workshops at universities, research institutions, hospitals, and technology organizations in Asia.
His academic work has also included journal publications, peer review, and the development of university-level English teaching materials.
A note from our founder
The original About Us page included a personal message from Dr. Wallace. We have preserved its central idea while updating the English for clarity.
Dear Researcher,
When I began teaching technical writing, I often saw strong research weakened by English that did not clearly communicate the author's ideas. For many researchers, publication is closely connected to graduation, professional advancement, and the ability to share important work with the academic community.
I began collecting examples of recurring language problems from manuscripts, reviewer comments, and my own observations of research writing. That work eventually developed into an editing approach focused on academic language, clarity, and the writing patterns that commonly create difficulty for researchers writing in English as an additional language.
Since Wallace Academic Editing was founded in 2006, our team has worked with researchers across many academic disciplines. Our goal is to improve the language and presentation of a manuscript without changing the author's intended research meaning.
We also recognize that authors need more than a corrected document. They need reliable communication, quality review, confidentiality, and support when questions arise during the publication process. These principles continue to guide the way we work.
We look forward to reading your manuscript.
Founder, Wallace Academic Editing
