PhD & Academic Proofreading

Our academic proofreading service is a lot more than just a spelling and grammar check, although obviously these are also very important!  We also proofread for consistency, punctuation, verb tenses, sentence structure, academic writing style and referencing.  All of these factors can be carried out in either UK (British) English or US (American) English, as you prefer.

Your proofread document will have all the changes clearly shown as we use Track Changes in Microsoft Word, and we will add comments in the document, or provide a cover email, to explain what we have amended, and why.

For doctoral theses, we are pleased to offer a pre-viva and post-viva proofreading service.  Once you have made the required edits to your thesis following any comments made by your examination panel, we would be pleased to proofread your thesis again at a reduced post-viva rate.  We also offer reduced proofreading rates are available for subsequent edits to your document.  For example, if a journal requires you to make revisions to your manuscript after it has been reviewed, we will apply a reduced proofreading re-submission rate to your amended document.
