Our Services

We proofread and edit a range of documents therefore the above list is by no means exhaustive. Please contact us for a quote if your document is not listed above. We offer Proofreading only service, and ProofreadingPLUS service. The latter includes copy-editing and paraphrasing. Our service consists of the following:

Proofreading:

We conduct a full review of your document by checking and correcting all spelling errors, grammatical errors, and punctuation. We will also carry out light editing. 

ProofreadingPLUS (Copy-editing & Paraphrasing):

We check for errors (grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax), inconsistencies (coherence, terminology, font usage, capitalisation, numerals), and repetitions. We will also re-write sentences in your documents in order to improve the presentation and clarity of your work. During this process, your document is reviewed and polished. Please note that we do not check for the accuracy of facts in your document nor do we verify documents against any potential lawsuit that may arise from author libelling.

Editing Process

Upon the receipt of your document, we carry out an initial check that allows us to determine the most appropriate editor. Your document is subsequently forwarded to an editor for work to begin. We proofread and edit your document using the default 'track changes' editing tool in Microsoft Word. 

 

After editing is completed, we will return to you the following: 

  1. Original version of the document

  2. Draft version - with tracked changes and comments made by the editor

  3. Final version - with all editing implemented

Please note that all documents are destroyed and/or erased from our systems and network upon successful and satisfactory completion of all works. This is usually within 48 hours.
