DISCOUNTED PROOFREADING AND EDITING SERVICES for... Dissertations / Theses

Proofreading your own writing can be difficult. You no longer 'see' your own errors and a fresh pair of eyes can be invaluable.

For academics, we provide a proofreading service for journal articles, research papers, lectures and presentations. This is particularly useful for multi-author works where multiple voices can result in an inconsistent written style.

For students, we offer editing support for essays, term papers, dissertations and other assignments. We will not compose essays and term papers for you but we can edit, proofread, and style check these and other assignments.

Our final draft dissertation proofreading service provides thorough and cost effective support that helps your work be remembered for its content and not marked down for easily rectified errors.

Our proofreading service will eliminate typos, correct grammar, catch misspellings and find other language issues. Our editing service will do all this and more; improving your work for word choice, sentence structure, tone and clarity.

You can rest assured your work will remain confidential and your personal information will remain private.

We provide services to the disability departments of various universities, to support those students with a range of learning difficulties. We can provide proofreading and editing services for those students with visual impairments or reading conditions such as dyslexia, AD(H)D and dyspraxia. We also provide transcription services of interviews for dissertations, including for students with visual impairments and for those students with hearing difficulties.

If you wish to check what past and existing clients think of our services, we believe our Testimonials page speaks for itself.
