FAQ
What is the difference between the three packages?
Basic Proofreading fixes surface errors like grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Copy Editing also improves clarity, consistency, and academic tone. Line-by-Line Deep Editing & Feedback goes through every sentence in depth and includes detailed comments on your structure, logic, and arguments.
What does the feedback in the Premium package include?
You'll receive a separate feedback report with your edited document. It highlights the strengths of your work, the key issues in structure, logic, and arguments, recurring language patterns, and clear recommendations on what to revise before submission. The ideas stay yours; the report helps you str
How is the price calculated?
All packages are priced per 1,000 words. For longer documents, add the "Additional 1,000 words" extra, or message me for a custom offer on a full thesis.
Will I be able to see what you changed?
Yes. All edits are made with Track Changes in MS Word, and I also send a clean copy with all changes accepted.
What formatting do you cover?
Depending on the package: fonts, margins, spacing, heading styles, page numbering, title page, automatic Table of Contents, List of Figures and Tables, captions, and reference formatting.
Can you format according to my university's guidelines?
Yes. Upload your university's template or style guide, and I'll format your document to match it. Without one, I'll apply a clean, standard academic format.
Do you write or rewrite content?
No. I edit, format, and give feedback on your own writing. The research and ideas remain entirely yours.
Is my work kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your document is never shared, reused, or stored after the order is complete.
Do you edit in UK or US English?
Both. Just tell me which one your university requires.
Can you work in any subject area?
Yes, I edit across disciplines. For highly technical fields, I focus on language, clarity, and structure rather than changing technical content.
