copy editing and proofreading

A book, university thesis, research assignment or annual report takes 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 credibility, reputation and grades. 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!
