Editing Services

General

Editing consists of conducting a thorough review of the writing through line-by-line scrutiny of the text, considering all matters of style. This includes: sentence and paragraph structures, transitions, word choice and tone, spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, and vocabulary. I will review the ordering of the material so that it reads clearly and logically. I will make suggestions for improvement of the clarity, style and flow of the writing so that it presents the best image of your writing skills.

 

Try My Service

Send me a 200 word sample of your work and I will demonstrate how a full editing job on it will improve the flow of the document. I accept work as an attachment to an email message.

 

I use the Microsoft Word “Reviewing” toolbar to mark up the corrections as it is edited. This allows you to review and then accept or reject each correction made. In addition you may like a complete, fully edited, final document to review.

 

My primary reference in matters of presentation and style is the MHRA Style Guide: A Handbook for Authors Editors and Writers of Theses. Ultimately it is your responsibility to check the accuracy of information presented, quotations used, academic citations, etc, in the thesis. When quotations and citations are included as part of the text, they will not be altered from the form in which they are received.

 

Price Guide

The charge for this service is based on the word-count of your document. Editing is charged at a rate of $2-$4 per 100 words and depends on the complexity of the document and how quickly you want the work executed. I will calculate the cost for you when I receive your work.

Note:    $20.00 is the minimum fee for any editing work done.
