Graduates, students – I know that money is always tight when you are studying. I was a student too. Also, you must budget for trips to the local pub occasionally – Very important for one’s mental well-being.
However; when you are looking for an editor/proofreader for your thesis, don’t be fooled by an ultra-cheap proofreading deal. It could cost more in the long run.
Pitfalls
In addition to the normal spelling and grammar checks, the service they give you should include syntax, clarity of meaning, coorrecting duplication, failure to break-up over-long paragraphs, over-punctuation, checking references for correct spelling of names; and a professional layout to make your thsis or essay look professional so you can get a better mark.
Another problem is that the proofreading may take too long. Meeting your deadlines is vital.
You need to check Google to see if they have a website. Make sure that the website they have looks professional.
Check to see if they have positive reports from Hello Peter.
To illustrate all these issues; too often we receive calls from students who in desperation, call us because the so-called proofreader has completely messed-up their thesis. Then they have to pay us to fix the damage. They are then paying double! – or worse-still, they might run away with your money and not deliver the work. So, beware! There are lots of Skelms out there!
