Academic Editing & Proofreading
You have done the thinking and the writing — editing makes sure the marker sees it. Our academic editing and proofreading sharpens grammar, academic style, flow and structure in your own work, with every change tracked so you stay the author.
Two levels: proofreading and substantive editing
Proofreading corrects grammar, punctuation, spelling, tense consistency and referencing format. Substantive editing goes further — restructuring paragraphs, tightening argument flow, flagging unsupported claims and improving academic tone. We recommend the right level after seeing your document, and only charge for what the work needs.
Tracked changes and margin comments
Everything is returned as a Word document with tracked changes and explanatory comments, so you can see and approve every edit. This keeps the work genuinely yours — and teaches you the recurring issues in your own writing so future drafts start stronger.
Dissertation and thesis editing
Full-length dissertations and theses are edited for consistency across chapters: heading hierarchy, table and figure numbering, cross-references, abbreviation lists and reference-list completeness — the details examiners notice.

Academic Editing & Proofreading — FAQs
Is proofreading allowed by universities?
Most UK universities permit third-party proofreading of a student's own work; many publish a proofreading policy. Our tracked-changes approach is designed so you review and accept every change yourself.
How is the price calculated?
By word count and editing level. Send the document through the enquiry chat and we will quote within the hour — no obligation.
Can you edit non-native English writing?
Yes — a large share of our editing clients speak English as a second language. We correct grammar and idiom while preserving your meaning and voice.
What file formats do you accept?
Word documents are ideal (tracked changes work natively). PDFs and PowerPoint files are also accepted — you can attach them directly in the enquiry conversation.
