SHARP-EYED OVERVIEW – LIGHT CREATIVE TOUCH

Proofreading for Students

Student Projects and Dissertations

I will help you to raise your thesis to the highest professional standard by proofreading it for typos, spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, consistency of line spacing, font, inclusive language, and general presentation. Additionally, if English is not your first language or if you have dyslexic issues, I am able to check your project by looking out for sense and grammar without intruding on the content or organisation of your study.

I will read your work online using Word’s Track Changes, and return it in a format that allows you to accept or reject any suggested edits. In this way you maintain complete control over your final work. I will use a light touch, only intervening where necessary, and am sensitive to every student’s individual way of expressing themselves.

If you send me two or three pages of your work I will quote either per hour (depending on whether the work needs a straight read or more complex editing) or if you include your word count, I can quote a flat fee. At busy times of the academic year please make sure you contact me in good time and book ahead.

The readability and layout of my essay were improved, main points clarified without changing the meaning of text content.
