Your Writing, Expertly Edited

Get your work meticulously edited and proofread by PhD-qualified academic writing specialists, who know exactly what markers want .

Your All-In-One Solution

• Fix typos, misspellings, punctuation issues and ensure consistency of your spelling format (e.g., UK or US English).
• Undertake light rewriting of poorly presented sentences, to improve readability and ease of understanding. If substantial rewriting is needed, we’ll provide suggestions.
• Highlight areas where clarification and additional explanation are needed.
• Ensure that your in-text references are in the correct style, formatted correctly and are included in the end-text reference list.
• Ensure that your reference list is correctly formatted.
• Highlight areas where additional references are needed (e.g., sweeping statements, unfounded arguments, etc.).
• Generate the table of contents page, lists of figures and tables.
• Ensure consistent style for figure and table captions.
• Insert captions where we are able to, or highlight areas where captions are needed.
• Ensure consistency of heading levels and styles.
• Ensure correct page numbering (e.g., roman numerals for pre-matter).
• Ensure that your format/page layout is in line with your institute’s requirements.

Every editing and proofreading project includes the following key deliverables:

You’ll receive a clean, finalised version of your document, fully edited and proofread. You’ll also receive a second version with all changes tracked , as well as our comments and suggestions to improve your writing further.

A detailed plagiarism report

A polished conceptual framework

If your document includes a conceptual framework, we’ll polish your design into a high-quality visual to give your work a professional look. Again, this service is provided completely free of charge. 

A certificate of editing

If your university requires a formal certificate of editing or confirmation letter, we’ll draft this according to your institution’s specific requirements. We can also provide copies of invoices and receipts if required by your sponsor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most popular editing-related questions we receive.

Editing & Proofreading

How do you edit and proofread.

Our editing and proofreading process is 100% manual - in other words, it's handled by a team of highly qualified human editors, not machines . We don't use any automation software or tools, as nothing can beat the quality and accuracy of human editing.

Our editing team consists of a diverse mix of Doctoral and Master's-qualified language specialists . The team is managed by Dr Eunice Rautenbach , who holds both a Master's and Doctoral degree in language practice. All team members have extensive academic editing experience, are native English speakers (from the US, UK and SA) and have worked on numerous dissertations, theses and research projects.

Can I see an example/sample of your editing?

Certainly . You can download a sample editing and proofreading project here .

Will you sort out my references and citations?

Yes . As part of the editing process, we will ensure that your references and citations are in the correct format (e.g., Harvard, APA, etc) as per your university's requirements (you'll need to advise us what these are).

However, keep in mind that we can't fill in incomplete references or find the relevant sources for you (as it's impossible for us to know which sources you've referenced). We also cannot check whether the references you have are accurate or suitable for the arguments you make in your writing.

Can you fix/build my table of contents?

Yes , we can create a table of contents based on the headings and subheadings throughout your dissertation or thesis. This table of contents will include the respective page number for each heading or subheading.

Can you lower my word count?

Yes - as part of the editing process, we will edit your work for concision. However, we cannot guarantee a specific word count or percentage reduction, as this would risk cutting out important content.

Can you check my work for plagiarism?

Yes - we can provide a detailed plagiarism report with every editing and proofreading project. However, please keep in mind that universities use a variety of plagiarism-checking services. Therefore, if your university provides you with a plagiarism-checking facility (as they often do), you should double-check your score on that system.

How long does the editing and proofreading process take?

It depends on the length of the document, the overall quality of the writing (i.e., the number of issues to be resolved) and our project load at the time of submission.

Generally speaking, we can complete a standard dissertation/thesis of 20,000 words within 2-3 days , but this varies depending on the factors above. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you pre-book your editing with us for a specific date. For pre-booked projects, we can provide a guaranteed timeline, which is generally shorter than that of "walk-in" projects. Please email us to pre-book your project.

Can you provide a certificate of editing?

Yes , certainly. We can issue a certificate according to your university's requirements. We can also sign any paperwork required by your university as proof of editing.

Will my document be treated as confidential?

Yes , absolutely. Your work will be treated as strictly confidential and will never be shared or published. We will gladly sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with you if you wish.

How much does editing cost?

Our fee is based on the total word count of the document. This includes the body content and the reference list (as we need to review this). You can also include the appendices if you wish, but it's generally not required.

Click here to view our pricing or book a free consultation to discuss your project.

When should I submit my document to you?

Generally, editing and proofreading should be the very last step in your writing process. This ensures that you don't "undo" any editing work, or introduce new typos or grammar issues.

However, if your supervisor has specifically instructed you to get your work edited before submitting it to them for final review, you should follow their instructions. If you're unsure which approach to take, get in touch with us.

Can you edit my dissertation/thesis as I complete each chapter?

We can, but we don't recommend it . By editing chapter by chapter, consistency is reduced and there is a strong chance that there will be conflicts between document versions in terms of references, page, table and figure numbers, and so on. As a result, a lot of the work will be "undone" and you'll need to spend a lot of time revising and checking each section.

How much time should I factor in post-edit to make corrections?

We recommend that you factor in a day or two to make your final corrections after receiving your document back from us. This is not essential (as you can just accept all our edits "as is"), but it is a good idea to have a buffer in case you want to make any additions or revisions. You might also need to fix issues highlighted by the edit, e.g., regarding clarity of meaning or problems flagged with your referencing.

Can you do a second review of my document after the first edit?

We can review your document as many times as you need , but each review is charged separately. In other words, we cannot provide a second review (after we've edited and proofread) free of charge.

Can you check that my Conclusions and Recommendations represent all my findings?

This is beyond the scope of language editing, as it involves data analysis and interpretation. If you would like assistance with this, we can assist with 1-on-1 coaching , where we review your work critically and provide in-depth feedback (you can view a sample of this here ).

Can you write my abstract (or exec summary) for me?

No , we can't. As part of the editing process, we will improve the quality of your writing, but we cannot write any section for you. Having any section written for you would constitute academic misconduct.

Can you rephrase text to reduce my plagiarism score?

No , we can’t. While we may undertake some very light rewriting of poorly constructed sentences to improve readability and ease of understanding, we cannot revise content to reduce plagiarism, as we are not familiar with the articles/sources being referenced.

Can you arrange the separate sections of my document?

No , we cannot arrange (or rearrange) sections of content on your behalf, as this may impact the core meaning and/or the thread of argument.

That said, if we feel that a section could be structured better for clarity, we will comment on this and make suggestions. Additionally, we will check that your headings and subheadings are numbered sequentially and are consistent in style.

I still have questions…

No problem. Feel free to email us or book an initial consultation to discuss.

What our clients say

We've worked 1:1 with 3000+ students . Here's what some of them have to say:

David's depth of knowledge in research methodology was truly impressive. He demonstrated a profound understanding of the nuances and complexities of my research area, offering insights that I hadn't even considered. His ability to synthesize information, identify key research gaps, and suggest research topics was truly inspiring. I felt like I had a true expert by my side, guiding me through the complexities of the proposal.

Cyntia Sacani (US)

I had been struggling with the first 3 chapters of my dissertation for over a year. I finally decided to give GradCoach a try and it made a huge difference. Alexandra provided helpful suggestions along with edits that transformed my paper. My advisor was very impressed.

Tracy Shelton (US)

Working with Kerryn has been brilliant. She has guided me through that pesky academic language that makes us all scratch our heads. I can't recommend Grad Coach highly enough; they are very professional, humble, and fun to work with. If like me, you know your subject matter but you're getting lost in the academic language, look no further, give them a go.

Tony Fogarty (UK)

So helpful! Amy assisted me with an outline for my literature review and with organizing the results for my MBA applied research project. Having a road map helped enormously and saved a lot of time. Definitely worth it.

Jennifer Hagedorn (Canada)

Everything about my experience was great, from Dr. Shaeffer’s expertise, to her patience and flexibility. I reached out to GradCoach after receiving a 78 on a midterm paper. Not only did I get a 100 on my final paper in the same class, but I haven’t received a mark less than A+ since. I recommend GradCoach for everyone who needs help with academic research.

Antonia Singleton (Qatar)

I started using Grad Coach for my dissertation and I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for them, I would have really struggled. I would strongly recommend them – worth every penny!

Richard Egenreider (South Africa)

Proofreading for phds.

Reduce the risk of minor corrections with a bespoke PhD edit, specially tailored to the doctoral examination.

• PhD Proofreading

Outmanoeuvring ‘Minor Corrections’

In our professional editorial experience, PhDs require a very particular form of proofreading. At Lex Academic, we recognise the priorities of doctoral candidates as they navigate the rite of passage from PhD submission through to examination and, thereafter, the academic job market. With many students moving onto postdoctoral positions upon receipt of their PhD, we understand that you do not want the examination process to be drawn out by a lengthy (and demoralising) round of revisions. With this in mind, we have devised a proofreading service dedicated to removing the chances of receiving minor corrections from your exam, while also preserving the academic integrity of your scholarship. Through our careful interventions, we can elevate the scholarly register of your thesis, helping to engage your examiner as effectively as possible with your ideas, whether you are working in the high humanities or the hard sciences. 

In offering this service, we check and correct for typographical mistakes, grammatical and punctuation errors, structural infelicities, and sentences that do not read well (for whatever reason). We will also retrieve and format absent or inadequate references. We thus aim to reduce the risk of receiving minor corrections based not only on the sort of mistakes that a regular proofreading service (or your supervisor!) might catch, but also missing or incomplete citations and/or formatting issues. As part of this service, we strictly heed any university regulations so that the thesis meets the relevant form (as opposed to content). To this end, we are conversant with the dominant citation styles for business, the social sciences, humanities, and law (including APA, Chicago, Harvard, ICMJE, MHRA, MLA, and OSCOLA).

If you have received major corrections from your doctoral examination, we can also assist. Please contact our Managing Editor to enquire . 

We have uniquely strong expertise proofreading within Art History, Anthropology, Classics, and Philosophy. We can also edit Arabic, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, and Spanish.

Can we help with anything else.

Ensure your entire manuscript is submission-ready with our bespoke  Indexing  and  Bibliography Compiling services. We also purvey extraordinary academic  Proofreading , Copy-Editing , and Substantive Editing . Our impeccable author services include correcting all typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors. Where desired, we can make stylistic and substantive changes to your work that promise a powerful first impression with major publishers. Our authors have published with all of the top-tier publishing houses, including Bloomsbury, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Penguin, Peter Lang, Princeton University Press, and Routledge.

Authors or publishers interested in our services should get in touch with our  Managing Editor  detailing their editorial requirements and publication ambitions.

"As a non-native English speaker working in academic philosophy, language can be an additional challenge to publish your research in the best journals. Lex Academic helped me turn my manuscripts into impeccable idiomatic style and clarity. They were fast, precise, and very flexible. My manuscripts have been subsequently accepted for publication in Erkenntnis, Philosophia, and Ratio. Highly recommended!" Dr. Manuel Gustavo Isaac (Postdoctoral Mobility Fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation at the University of St Andrews)

PHD SERVICES

Phd proofreading service, phd proofreading services.

Proofreading is one of the last steps of PhD thesis writing but a very important one. Details are key to the holistic perception of your work. Imagine you have conducted strong research and described it appropriately in your dissertation, but there are grammar mistakes, typos and inconsistently linked sentences. This will create a feeling of untidiness in the eyes of the supervisor and the Commission and devalue your dissertation. Therefore, it is extremely important to bring the work to the end and polish it to make it shine.

Why not let one of our expert PhD writers provide a professional PhD proofreading service to ensure your final paper is of the highest quality

Phd proofreading tips.

It is feasible to proofread the paper when you have already completed the work on the substantive and logical components, and you are not going to add anything in your text. If you are proofreading the paper on your own, try to look at it through the eyes of an outsider who sees it for the first time. Is it clear what the author narrates? Is it easy to read the text? Are there any mistakes and typos? Would you like to continue reading are several paragraphs? The affiliated readers such as your supervisor will be such outsiders as they are not aware of the work you have done. If the text satisfies you, it will likely satisfy the others.

Check for large and conspicuous issues first. These may be unfinished sentences, missing paragraphs that you wanted to insert later but forgot to do it and inappropriately referenced sources. These are serious shortcomings that must not be ignored.

Check the formatting of the thesis . Headings and subheadings, names and referencing to tables and figures in the text, blank pages and lines and page numeration are details that contribute to the overall impression from the work as well.

The formatting of the analysis output is especially important since your results and your personal contribution are the main outcomes of the work. Double check and make sure that all figures are correct and the readers will be able to understand the logics of your analysis.

Do not hesitate to use online spell checkers and dictionaries to make sure that there are no mistakes in the text. It is better to double check a doubtful word rather than make a mistake.

It is also useful to have another pair of eyes to proofread the paper before the submission. It can be a peer, a friend, a relative or anyone also who will be able to understand the text and objectively underline its shortcomings.

HOW OUR PHD PROOFREADING SERVICE CAN HELP

Our role in proofreading your PhD thesis can be twofold. We will be a third party who will check and polish your work. Based on years of experience and hundreds of successfully submitted dissertations, our PhD consultants will make a conclusion as to whether your work looks like a finished paper that is fully ready for defence. Not only we will check structuring, presence of potential shortcomings, spelling and other details but we will also make sure that the work complies with the requirements of your university.

WE GUARANTEE THAT:

We will continue assisting you until submission is successful.

The thesis will be checked using the “four-eye” principle. This means that it will be an expert who will proofread your work first, and then it will be re-examined by a senior supervisor.

The approach to your work will be personal. This excludes inattentive reading and the work of one expert on several projects at once.

Testimonials

I want to thank Capstone Editing for the invaluable assistance they provided in editing my PhD thesis (following the ‘Guidelines for Editing Research Theses’ as per University of Adelaide requirements). The final edited thesis was perfectly expressed and did not contain any typographical or grammatical errors. This was affirmed by my thesis being accepted without corrections, which I believe is rare. I am especially grateful for the care taken to avoid changing any of my ideas in what was a complex work. In reviewing the edits and comments, I felt at all times that my work had been treated with the greatest sensitivity and respect. Capstone Editing proved their editors to be highly skilled, professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend Capstone Editing to postgraduates and academics seeking a professional academic editor.

I would confidently recommend the editorial services of Capstone Editing. They are fast, capable and professional. My editor identified a number of places in which the expression and clarity in the grant were able to be improved. Her careful editing saved me valuable time and identified details I had missed in my own revisions. She was careful to ensure that any changes to the expression didn’t change the meaning, and clearly noted where there may have been ambiguity. In today’s competitive research environment, I honestly believe the services of Capstone Editing represent a very worthwhile investment, and I intend to utilise their services again with future grants.

A good editor may be the difference between a pass or fail, or more positively, a High Distinction or a Distinction. A good editor will not only attend to spelling, grammar, syntax and structure but will also read and understand the point of the assignment and thus recommend changes in accordance with the specific intentions of the work. A good editor is clear and precise. A good editor offers suggestions towards increasing clarity, that is, what you think you are saying may not be what you have said. This is all the job of a good editor. Capstone's editors are among the best. I have never received less than a High Distinction in any subject since using their services.

Dr Lisa Lines was recommended to me by a colleague as an expert editor in her field. It is my pleasure to assert that her editorial services were well worth the investment made. Not only am I grateful for the numerous corrections to errors that I had missed, but I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to learn from her expertise. While I hope to implement some of these skills in the future, I will certainly engage her services again. Her attention to detail, her professionalism and her courteous manner in dealing with my work were greatly appreciated. Dr Lines formatted my thesis in such a way that it is both easy to read and navigate. It was reassuring to have someone trustworthy to help me in the final stages of my PhD. I recommend Capstone Editing to students and academics alike.

Our simple order process provides easy access to professional academic editing. In some cases, your university will provide funding for thesis editing and we can invoice them directly.

Dissertation and Thesis Editing Services

You’ve just completed a dissertation for your PhD or a thesis for your master’s—congratulations! But just as you finally let yourself relax and enjoy the fact that you’re done, you remember that you will need to edit this text before you submit it. It might even require multiple rounds of editing. You need to make sure your arguments are well structured and your conclusions are clear, that you’ve expressed yourself clearly and concisely, that there are no typos or spelling mistakes, and that the grammar is correct throughout your work. So, no rest for you; you have to get right back on that horse and keep working on your dissertation or thesis. After all, that’s the only thing you can do to ensure that small mistakes don’t bring down the quality of your work or negatively affect your degree. Or is it?

Actually, you don’t need to do all this yourself! You’ve done the hard part, so let someone else take care of the editing. At Capstone Editing, we offer thesis editing services and dissertation editing to a high standard for all academic disciplines and fields. We can ensure that the crowning glory of your degree is edited to an extremely high standard so that you can submit a thesis or dissertation you can be proud of.

The Benefits of Professional Dissertation Editing

You might think that editing and proofreading are just part of what goes into writing a thesis or dissertation and that you could do it just as well yourself. While it might be true that many students do go down this route, it’s far from the easiest or best one. There are many benefits to hiring a professional editor for your dissertation or thesis editing :

• Get a second pair of eyes - We all know that after a while, we become blind to the mistakes in our own text and will miss important typos or grammatical issues.
• Ensure your arguments are strong - An academic journal editor will be able to look over the structure of your arguments and your conclusions to ensure you’ve expressed yourself in the best and clearest way possible.
• Save time - Editing and proofreading is a time-consuming process, so handing it over to someone else will save you a lot of time and give you some well-deserved time off.
• Avoid stress and emotional fatigue - Academic life can be extremely stressful, so avoid burnout and the stress of submitting your dissertation or thesis on time; let someone else do the thesis editing and relax for a while.
• Employ expertise - Most of us don’t receive a lot of training on writing or editing during our degrees, which means many students are unprepared for the demands of academic writing, and an editor can bring useful expertise and help you ensure your thesis or dissertation is the best work it can be.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps to write a thesis statement.

A thesis statement outlines your main argument. An effective thesis statement will be clear, specific, focused and concise. It will focus the reader’s attention on your topic and clearly outline your perspective. The steps to write a thesis statement include restating the research question in your own words, adopting a position (argument), listing the main reasons for adopting that position (which you will discuss in your essay) and combining all this information into a single sentence (or several sentences for a longer research paper with a more complex topic).

What does a thesis editor do?

A thesis editor improves the quality of a thesis by increasing the language quality to ensure that ideas and arguments are presented clearly, correcting any mistakes and ensuring adherence to all academic writing, formatting and referencing conventions. A thesis editor will ensure correct grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation; correct use of formal academic English; complete internal consistency; correct and consistent use of abbreviations; and improving logic, clarity and flow, structure and organisation of ideas. Additionally, a thesis editor will completely format a thesis ready for printing and submission, following university submission guidelines; create all preliminary pages (e.g., Title page, Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables and List of Abbreviations), which will be automatic and easy to update; edit and format tables and figures for neatness and consistency; edit and format appendices for neatness and consistency; and crosscheck in-text references with the reference list. A thesis editor will do everything they can, as permitted by university guidelines (which, in Australia, are the nationally endorsed ‘Guidelines for Editing Research Theses’), to ensure that a thesis is ready for submission and the research is presented in the best possible light. A thesis editor will not make substantial changes to structure and content.

How do you edit a thesis paper?

You edit a thesis paper by completing the first (and second and third) round of editing yourself before acquiring the services of a third-party editor, either a colleague or a professional editor. When you edit your own thesis paper, you must ensure that all the important information is included in the correct order, according to your thesis plan, and that there are no major errors or inconsistencies. You must also check that all formatting and referencing are consistent and correct. A professional editor will be useful because you will be very close to your own work, particularly in the final stages of preparing your thesis paper; therefore, you may miss errors in content and style. However, an academic editor will be able to read and edit your thesis paper with fresh eyes and, thus, catch any errors you may have missed.

How do I write a thesis statement?

To write a thesis statement for an essay, you must first state your topic in your own words, being as specific and concise as possible. Then, you must state your main idea or opinion about the topic and provide the key evidence you are drawing on to support your opinion. This must all be done within a single sentence (or several sentences for a longer essay with a more complex topic). An effective thesis statement outlines your main argument; is clear, specific, focused and concise; and focuses the reader’s attention on your topic by clearly outlining your perspective on the topic.

What should go in a thesis statement?

A clear statement of the topic, your main opinion regarding the topic and the key evidence you will put forward to support this opinion should go in a thesis statement. An effective thesis statement outlines your main argument; is clear, specific, focused and concise; and focuses the reader’s attention on your topic by clearly outlining your perspective on the topic. A thesis statement would normally contain all these things in one sentence, but it may require several sentences if you are writing a longer and more complex essay or thesis.

What is a thesis statement in an essay?

A thesis statement in an essay outlines your main argument and focuses the reader’s attention by clearly outlining your perspective on the topic. It will provide the topic and some general context for it, your main perspective or opinion on the topic and the key evidence you have gathered to support this opinion. Further, a thesis statement will provide an outline for the ideas presented in the rest of your essay. A strong thesis statement gives direction to the essay and provides supporting evidence to motivate your readers to continue reading. A thesis statement in an essay would normally do all these things in one sentence, but it may be several sentences if you are writing a longer and more complex essay or thesis.

Our Happy Customers

What is the difference between the Copyediting, Substantive editing and English Proofreading services? +

As an author, there are three basic broad-heads of editing services available to you:

• Copy Editing: This service is suitable for quality-conscious authors requiring a thorough language check of their manuscripts. Papers submitted to the Copy editing service are returned free from language errors such as spelling mistakes, grammar, punctuation errors, and typos. Authors also get a style and consistency-check done on their manuscripts, in addition to having them formatted.
• Substantive Editing: Authors looking to submit their manuscripts to high-impact peer-reviewed international journals can opt for Substantive editing. This service offers intensive research editing services for the authors to achieve flawless subject-matter and language quality. Substantive editing covers all service aspects under Copy editing, including a deep focus on the logic, structure, and presentation of the manuscript.
• English Proofreading: English Proofreading is done after editing and layout, after the page proofs have been prepared by the designer. While Copy editing errors may still be found, a proofreader is concerned with other elements. The proofreader checks all design elements for accuracy and consistency including headers, level heads, page numbering, word breaks, end-of-line breaks, page breaks, cross references, and appropriate placement of tables and artwork. English Proofreading service may also include completion of table of contents, index and numbering of cross references.

What are the rates for academic Proofreading services? +

Academic Proofreading services are usually priced per the number of words in the manuscript. The charges are levied based on the length of the document, which tends to assure that you are able to calculate a fixed price for the services.

Can I get a certificate of Proofreading? +

Always! Every time Enago edits your manuscript, you receive a certificate of editing. Enago offers only 2 editing services – Substantive editing and copy editing. Certificate of editing is a component of both these services, which takes English Proofreading into account.

What are the available payment options? +

We allow our clients to make payments through credit/debit cards and PayPal. You can also make a bank transfer. For further details, write to us at [email protected]

What is Rejection Shield? +

Rejection Shield is the top-tier Post-Editorial Support service of Enago. Under Rejection shield, you can get your paper edited from us even after journal’s feedback. With this shield, the value-added attributes are editing the response to reviewer, cover letter editing, and editing of any additional content added by the author. You get Rejection Shield exclusively with our premium service – Substantive Editing.

Professional PhD Proofreading & Editing

As a specialist proofreading service, we are able to provide tailored, bespoke PhD proofreading services delivered by qualified senior academics. We not only proofread your PhD or thesis but we will also edit the text using Microsoft Track changes to ensure that your PhD reads grammatically correct and coherent but also concise. Due to our extensive network of qualified proofreaders we will ensure that a proofreader with the relevant background and expertise to your PhD carries out the proofreading.

Experienced PhD Proofreaders

We guarantee all of our editors hold the highest of qualifications through our vetting process, as a minimum we ensure that all of our proofreaders and editors hold Masters/PhD qualifications from leading British universities, as well as having extensive experience in PhD proofreading. For added peace of mind you may also submit a 500 word sample of your PhD or thesis to be proofread by us for free, to do this simply email a short extract of your PhD with the heading ‘Free Sample’. Also include the word count of your document, the subject area as well as the type of service you are looking for.

Comprehensive PhD Proofreading Service

Due to the expertise of our PhD proofreaders we are able to ensure that your PhD or thesis will not only be free from spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. We will also check syntax, sentence structure and our editors may also recommend improvements and suggestions that may be relevant to your PhD. We will also check that your tables and footnotes are accurate and consistent with your bibliography.

We provide three types of PhD proofreading services , 1) basic proofreading, 2) proofreading and editing, and 3) heavy editing. Our basic PhD proofreading covers spelling and correcting typographical errors. In contrast the proofreading & editing service is the comprehensive service covering all of the below areas. Further to this we also provide a heavy editing service, although this covers the same changes as the proofreading and editing service, it allows us more time to spend editing your PhD if you feel that your writing requires greater than average time making such adjustments.

Academic Tone Vocabulary Consistency of verb tenses Sentence and paragraph structure Grammar and punctuation Presentation and layout Consistency of reference and bibliography

In academia coherency and being grammatically accurate are essential. This will not only assist the reader in ensuring that they are able to understand the points that you are making but it will also create a positive, professional, academic tone to your PhD which will stand the test of time. Over the years we have helped many academics perfect their PhDs. Often when proofreading your own work errors begin to go unnoticed due to your engagement with the content. We are able to take a fresh look at your writing and ensure that your work is free from any such errors.

Your Proofread PhD Copy

When we begin proofreading your PhD we will do so using Microsoft Track changes so all changes will be clearly visible. You can then either choose to accept changes individually or simply accept all of them if you are happy. This ensures that you are completely satisfied with the changes made. We will also provide a final copy which will be a clean copy with all the changes applied to the text.

Our English Blog

For useful articles and guides, visit our English blog . We regularly provide well researched, informative guides and blog articles providing help and tips on writing and researching in academia. As well as covering basic punctuation and grammatical errors, and tips for proofreading your own work.

My Service Learning Journal

I am an avid book reader and always enjoy access to new knowledge either fictional or true. In our growing society books of any type are very expensive and not as easily accessible to every student and curious mind. I decided for this semester I wanted to work with Distributed Proofreaders to get my service hours. This organization allows you to volunteer from home and help in the proofreading process for literature, to then be published for free with Project Gutenberg. Working with this organization means a lot to me personally because I have utilized Project Gutenberg for research and reading enjoyment. Not everyone can afford to keep up with their reading need or wants. Doing this is helpful to get more books published for society to utilize. While not every book you can think of is on there you can request a book be proofread and added to the site.

About distributed proofreaders, their mission is to make literature available to individuals around the world while preserving history in the digital media. by using volunteers the work of proofreading is split up to get through multiple books in a day. after they are proofread for “smooth reading” they are then published to project gutenberg. so far there have been 47,250 books processed through distributed proofreaders and published to project gutenberg., insight #1: “there is no friend as loyal as a book.”.
