As part of this specialist essay editing and proofreading service, our editors will improve the clarity, flow, and readability of your work.

This includes:

  • Refining your written English so that it is appropriate to your academic discipline, by employing richer academic language and vocabulary and removing slang/colloquial expressions;

  • Using alternative, more dynamic words in place of bland, commonplace, or overused words (e.g., “exhibits”, “illustrates”, “demonstrates”, rather than “shows”);

  • Reordering some sentences/paragraphs so that they tell a more logical story;

  • Adding sentences/phrases that link sections or paragraphs together. This further enhances the logical flow of your essay;

  • Removing any superfluous, redundant, or unnecessary words or phrases;

  • Leaving editorial comments and questions regarding lack of clarity, contradiction or inconsistency;

  • Ensuring the referencing style has been adhered to correctly and consistently throughout.

c) Length/Reduction

Essays are often required to be a certain number of words: mostly, around 3000, words. Sticking to the expected word count in your essay can sometimes be very difficult to achieve. Our team of dedicated essay copy-editors and proofreaders will therefore help reduce your work so that it falls within the required limits. Often this is achieved by removing redundant or repeated information/words and tightening the use of grammar.

Occasionally, this could involve combining and condensing key ideas and information, and replacing lengthy phrases with just one or two key words that convey the same meaning.
