Proofread & Format Galway Thesis
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am in the final stretch of submitting a 38,000-word PhD thesis written in British English and need a meticulous proofreader who can also fine-tune the document’s layout to match the University of Galway’s scientific-style guidelines.
Your task
The thesis already follows the classic scientific structure (Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, etc.). I now need you to:
• Edit for grammar, syntax, and overall consistency while making clarity and flow your top priority.
• Apply the University of Galway-specific author–date referencing style, ensuring both in-text citations and the reference list are fully compliant.
• Format the document so every page shows justified alignment, 1.5-line spacing within paragraphs, and a 2.0-line break between paragraphs, without touching existing fonts, margins, or the general layout.
• Maintain numbered headings and a formal academic tone throughout.
Preferred background
Experience in academic proofreading—ideally within economics or the social sciences—is important, and familiarity with APA or Harvard styles will help when mapping details to the Galway system. Working in Microsoft Word with Track Changes is essential so I can review every alteration.
Deliverables
1. A tracked-changes .docx showing all edits.
2. A clean, submission-ready version.
3. A brief change log highlighting any style decisions or points that needed author confirmation.
If you can guide my thesis from near-ready to perfectly polished while respecting every stylistic nuance, I’d be happy to work with you.
