proofreading and copy editing
A university thesis, research assignment, annual report or personal writing project takes a lot of time and effort. That’s why it’s so important to have a fresh pair of eyes in the final stages. Mistakes can affect your grades, credibility and reputation. For peace of mind, 2Write provides skilful copy editing and proofreading that will turn your document into a piece of work you’re proud to submit or publish.
Services
We’ll discuss your specific needs and offer a competitive price. Our editing and proofreading services will ensure your document has:
- correct grammar, spelling, punctuation and English usage
- clear, concise, accurate sentence structure and meaning
- consistent expression and style
- consistent formatting of paragraphs, headings, fonts, tables, headers and footers, references etc
We’ll also suggest improvements to your writing and point out repetitions, omissions and unclear text using the ‘track changes’ and ‘comments’ functions. This means you always make the final decisions and maintain control of your document.
International student support
We’re experienced in working with international students and others for whom English is not their first language. As volunteers in Timor-Leste from 2013-2015, Pat taught writing and communication skills to local World Vision staff, while Pip ran English conversation classes at Timor’s national university and creative writing workshops for local researchers.
NB: If you’re a NZ Aid scholarship student, you may be entitled to financial support to have your PhD proofread. Check with your international scholarships manager!
