Common Queries
Do I really need to use a professional editor or proofreader?
You don't have to, but it will certainly improve the quality of your document. Just as you are an expert in your field, I am an expert in mine and have spent years developing my editorial and proofreading skills. I can ensure that your ideas are expressed with clarity and accuracy. A text that is unorganised, poorly written and difficult to understand does not do your ideas justice. Allow me to ensure that that your ideas are expressed with clarity and accuracy so that your brilliance shines through.
My essay is due tomorrow. Can you take a look at it?
Maybe. I do occasionally offer express services. Email me with the length of the essay and depending on my schedule I may be able to fit you in. But it will cost more.
How do I get my document to you?
Most of the time it will be done as an email attachment in Word. If the document is particularly large we'll use a dropbox. I'm always happy to take a hard copy, but for expedience, e-versions are generally faster.
Are your services confidential?
Yes. And I'm happy to sign an NDA as the situation requires.
English is not my first language. Can you help?
Of course. I have worked with students from all over the world. You have great ideas, sometimes a little finesse is needed to express them in the proper academic style. As we work together, you will see your English language skills improve.
