Academic Paragraph Proofreading
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
I have a collection of academic paragraphs that are already well-structured in terms of ideas, but they still need a meticulous eye for grammar and punctuation. Your task is simple yet critical: polish every sentence so it reads flawlessly in formal academic English.
Key points
• Focus strictly on grammar, spelling, and punctuation. No rephrasing or content changes are required unless a correction is essential for grammatical accuracy.
• There is no style-guide constraint (APA, Chicago, etc.); follow standard British English conventions and ensure consistency throughout.
• I will supply the paragraphs in an editable Word document. Please return two versions: one with all edits visible via Track Changes and one clean, ready-to-submit file.
Scope & expectations
Given the importance of precise language in scholarly work, I expect:
– Careful line-by-line proofreading.
– Attention to common academic pitfalls such as subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, comma splices, and correct quotation punctuation.
– A brief summary note outlining any recurring issues you noticed.
If you have experience proofreading journal articles, theses, or research papers, your expertise will be particularly valuable. Turnaround within 48 hours is ideal, but let me know if a different timeframe yields a higher-quality result.
