PROOFREADING AND EDITING SERVICES for... Students

Discounted proofreeding and editing services for students are one of our specialties. We understand funds are tight and we have provided cost effective and professional services to students for a wide variety of assignments, including essays, term papers, reports, dissertations and research papers.

As well as correcting the necessary spelling, grammar and typographical errors, our editors can edit your work for word choice, sentence structure, tone and clarity, and will make suggestions on organization and structure and highlight other language issues where necessary.

We will not compose your thesis for you but we can edit, proofread and style check these and other types of assignments so easily rectified mistakes won't damage your grades. You want to be graded for your ideas, not your grammar.

We also provide proofreading and editing services to the disability departments of various universities, to support those disabled students with visual impairments or other reading conditions such as dyslexia, AD(H)D and dyspraxia, to ensure their learning experience runs as smoothly as possible and doesn't put them at an extra disadvantage. We also provide discounted transcription services for those students carrying out interviews for their dissertations and theses.

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

Proofreading
Proofreading your own writing is notoriously difficult. Particularly at the final draft of a thesis, it's no longer easy to 'see' what you've been working on for months. At this stage, a second pair of eyes from a professional editor can make all the difference and will eliminate those typos and errors which your eyes now skim straight over.

Our discounted dissertation proofreading service provides you with that essential last support to ensure your work will be free of typos, misspellings, grammatical errors and other linguistic issues.

Proofreading is aimed at final drafts of documents that have been edited at least once. If you believe you need more intensive help with word choice, sentence structure or clarity of narrative, our copy editing service would be a more appropriate first step.

Our motto - Edit first - proofread last
