Student Copyediting Service
On occasion, an essay or thesis will have been written and the content deemed satisfactory by the tutor, but the writing itself will be failing to express the content clearly and concisely - and consequently lowering the potential mark.
Although university assignments are theoretically marked on their content, where poor quality writing means the reader is not able to properly decipher the content this will not always be possible!
Our copyediting service
We offer a copyediting service for 2p per word. We have numerous experienced and professional copyeditors, and wherever possible, assign to each project an editor with a degree in the relevant subject.
After consultation with the student, we edit the essay or thesis to ensure that the work meets its full potential, and we do this without altering the work's content or infringing the standard university guidelines on plagiarism. (As many of our student copyediting clients are international students, we understand that this last point is of the gravest importance because expulsion can lead to the loss of the student's visa.)
What we do
We initially edit the document to remove unnecessary repetition, reword awkward syntax, rephrase sentences to foreground important points, with a focus on clarity and conciseness. The editing process also involves ensuring consistency of appropriately formal academic tone. Upon completion, we then proofread the edited document to weed out errors in spelling, grammar and syntax, punctuation and capitalisation.
As many international students tend to be more familiar with US English than UK English, we also pay particularly close attention to seeking out vocabulary and spelling errors in this area.
