Proofreading, editing and research services for students
Many of our writing, proofreading and editing clients are students, and consequently, we have developed specialist services for these clients that cater to their specific needs. These are:
- Academic proofreading
- Academic editing
- Checking of university work
- Academic research
- Academic transcription
Our Writers, Proofreaders and Editors
In the first instance, we seek to assign a writer to the project who has at least a Bachelors degree in the relevant subject, and wherever possible, a postgraduate degree. We find that, aside from the obvious issue of their greater knowledge, this also allows for a certain extra level of confidence in exploring the field and results in a higher quality of work.
We currently have writers, proofreaders and editors with degrees in cultural studies, science subjects, medical areas and social sciences; others with professional experience in IT, web development, business and marketing; and school teachers and university lecturers in a wide range of fields. We also have a number of experienced and professional researchers, who make excellent writers, proofreaders and editors for assignments in those fields in which we do not have a specialist.
Our Promises
In the interests of ensuring our clients' peace of mind, we make the following promises:
- All work will be carried out by native English speakers.
- Where we promise a writer with a degree in your subject, this is exactly what you will get.
- Work will be returned to you no later than the deadline we give at the start of the project.
- Only the Decorus Lacuna manager and your writer will ever see your work, and it will be deleted from our records on completion of the project.
- Where appropriate, the work will be 100% original - not a plagiarised or rewritten version of any existing material.
- Any reasonable* amendments that you request will be completed free of charge and in a timely manner. (*Reasonable amendments are those changes that would ensure the work better suited your brief.)
Should you require any extra reassurance, we are always on hand for phone or email contact and you are more than welcome to visit us in our Sheffield city centre office.
