I work to guarantee that your paper meets every relevant standard of English usage. Whether you're a non-native speaker of English or a seasoned academic working towards a deadline for publication, my studious editing services will prime your essay for success.
Proofreading
Proofreading serves as a final pass before publishing. With proofreading, documents are checked and corrected for:
Spelling
Grammar
Punctuation
In terms of a final, polished draft, only those documents that have already been edited for clarity, flow, and structure will get to a final stage with proofreading.
Proofreading is included in all copyediting and style formatting services.
Copyediting
With copyediting, every document is checked thoroughly for the following:
Spelling
Grammar
Punctuation
Syntax and sentence flow (especially useful for non-native speakers of English)
readability
repetitiveness
awkward phrasing
Paragraph flow and readability
All copyediting assignments include basic proofreading.
Style Formatting
An optional service that checks and corrects documents for adherence to a given style format.
If your academic writing requires a style format of Modern Language Association (MLA), Chicago Manual of Style, or American Psychological Association (APA), I check to make sure your document meets requirements for layout such as title pages, margins, typeface, and page numbers, as well as requirements for in-text citation.
All style formatting assignments include basic proofreading.
How is feedback shared?
I create a Google Doc version of the document and use the comments and suggestions features so that you can choose to incorporate my edits as you see fit. The edited document is shared with the client and made available for thirty days after initial share. Please note that you can download the document to your computer or Google Drive to continue referencing edits.
