PROOFREADING

 

We all know how to use spell checker in MS Word.  Word will also give you tips if it notices a sentence doesn't look quiet (oops, quite) right.  But no matter how hard you try, that little green squiggly underline just won't go away.

Spell checkers won't know that you have used "pair" instead of "pear" in your sentence.  Only a pair of eyes will know it's wrong.  Don't let the first pair of eyes to see the mistake be your lecturers, teachers or managers.

We will proofread your assignment, report or essay for as little as 1.5 cents per word.



Proofreading or Copyediting?

Proofreading involves checking for grammar, punctuation, spelling and usage.  Copyediting is more involved.  It involves all of the proofreading tasks and also includes verifying consistency, chronology and fact of the information.



Turnaround Time

For documents 3,000 words or less, we will have your edited copy back to you within 24 hours.  For any documents greater than 3,000 words, we will advise expected turnaround time after a quick look at your document.

Documents with legal, medical or other complex terminology will take a little longer.

We will send you the original document, a copy with the edited comments on it and the final copy which is ready to be published or submitted.

 


What can we help you with?

The following are some of the things which should be checked before publication or submission:

Assignments, essays and theses
Websites
Resumes and cover letters
Business reports
Newsletters, magazines and newspapers
Case studies and presentations
Brochures
Letters
Speeches
Reference lists/bibliographies
And much more.
