Show me something complex and I will show you something simple. That was at the heart of my own studies, pivotal in helping me connect and work with a vast number of clients across various sectors, fostering collaborative engagements with academic departments and institutes, as a well as a host of public bodies and private sector businesses.  We use the term proofreading/editing to define, not only spelling, grammar, and punctuation correction, but also the correction of the language and structure of the text into something more "academic". Academic tone and language, and the lack thereof,  are issues that plague one's thesis, as are issues of flow, coherence, and consistency. The proof and edit service also includes feedback, through comments. ​​

​

We use Track Changes to make the changes on our end, meaning your work is more or less ready to go once you get it back. Any large scale issues or sections which need a heavier rewrite or reshuffle will not be changed but we will leave a comment highlighting it, along with solutions. Our goal is not to return your work back to you in such a shape that it is no longer yours. If you are uncertain whether we might be breaking any academic rules, don't worry ... We don't! Contact us or read our reviews if you need more clarification. 

​

For formatting, we refer to table of content creation, page numbering, headings, spacing, etc. 

 

Not everyone will need all the services below, but everyone will recognise the need for them all the same. Whatever service you want, I can accommodate.

​
