This depends on the length of the document.

I am aware of student proofreading services that promise to proofread dissertations or theses of more than 10,000 words overnight! This is not possible unless the service provided is substandard.

I do offer a 24-hour service, but only for essays of 3000 words or less.

When you contact me with your specific requirements, we will be able to agree upon the optimum time.

I proofread using Microsoft Word ‘Track Changes’.

To see the changes made (and the comments added), you need to click on the ‘Track Changes: All Markup’ button in the review tab. I suggest that you go through the document and either accept or reject the changes that I have made. Accepting a change will integrate it into the proofread document. Rejecting it will remove the change from the proofread document.

It is preferable to proofread an entire thesis in the order in which it will be submitted to ensure consistency. However, I am aware of time constraints, and I understand that some students will still be working on sections whilst I am proofreading others, so this is not always possible.

I do offer a final proofread of the entire thesis (once you have completed your final checks) at a reduced rate, which I highly recommend for students who have sent me their work chapter by chapter. However, I appreciate that this is an extra cost, and some students will be happy to check that their work is consistent themselves.
