How to order

Send: Send your dissertation/thesis by email (preferred) or via the website form with all instructions, including: British or American English, referencing style (if applicable), and your preferred deadline. If you do not want some parts of your manuscript to be checked, just highlight them in a different colour so that our editor leaves them alone.

Pay: Pay for your order through a safe payment link via PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, simply use your debit or credit card to complete the payment via the link.

Receive: Receive two fully edited and proofread copies of your paper: a track-changed version and a clean copy ready for immediate use. In addition, our editors will often leave useful annotations and questions inside the manuscript. 

Why proofread your dissertation in depth?

Cosmetic and superficial proofreading is often not the best option for academic papers. Dissertations often require a thorough check and significant intervention from the editor to fix more fundamental problems in the manuscript. We proofread dissertations in depth in order to:

  • Enhance your sentence formation

  • Adjust your tone to be formal, academic and appropriate

  • Enrich your academic terminology/vocabulary and remove colloquial, inappropriate and informal expressions

  • Rephrase/restructure any awkward or poorly structured sentences

  • Correct in-text citations, bibliography, depending on your referencing style – whether APA, Harvard, Chicago, or any other reference style

  • Remove any ambiguity, inconsistency, contradiction, incoherence, or wordiness

  • Correct any wrong use of first person or third person pronoun according to academic convention

  • Give you useful comments.

Business material proofreading & editing

Any business produces written content, whether website content, a press release, an internal report or publicity material. The quality of writing in this content has a direct impact on your image as a business. 

Poor and sloppy English will reflect badly on your image. By contrast, robust and cleverly crafted content in English will create very strong and positive impressions about your businesses.

We also provide corporate editing and proofreading services to businesses, including marketing & PR companies, translation providers, and law firms.

Manual paraphrasing service

As an MA or PhD student, you need to cite from other sources of literature and this requires a professional paraphrase to avoid plagiarism – a serious academic offence

This is what we exactly do.

Our manual paraphrasing service is delivered by highly-qualified and skilled paraphrasers and text rewriters who will expertly and professionally rewrite and paraphrase your original text using a different structure, wording and style while keeping your original intended meaning intact. 

Need help with paraphrasing a document? Drop us a line.

Quality Control & Assurance

1) Manual from start to finish

Copy-editing or proofreading a dissertation, thesis or essay – or indeed any other type of manuscript – requires a unique skill, given the nuances and subtleties in the English language usage. We do all our proofreading, editing and paraphrasing work manually from start to finish.

2) Double-reviewed

Once you have placed your order with us, we allocate your paper to a specialist proofreader. After the first proofreader has completed their work, we pass the document on to a second and third editor for a thorough final review and check.

3) Tracking changes

We provide a track-changed copy of your thesis/dissertation, in addition to a clean final copy ready for immediate use. In the track-changed version, you will be able to see all the changes, adjustments, corrections and suggestions introduced by the copy-editor or proofreader.

We are particularly keen to hear from people with experience in dissertation and thesis proofreading.

Native speaker? Think you do not need proofreading?

Professional dissertation proofreading services are extremely useful for both non-native and native speakers of English alike. As a native speaker student or academic, you need to get your draft checked by a professional editor before submission, for two reasons:

First: As human beings, we are all naturally blind to mistakes we make in our writing. We can hardly spot any errors in a copy we have written.

Second: Being a native English speaker does not necessarily mean you can produce a 100% error-free academic copy. An essential part of the job of the academic editor or proofreader is to ensure your text is well-written, well-structured, and coherent and that there are no gaps or broken narratives in your writing.
