Essay Proofreading and Editing

Are you worried about your essay?  Would you like me to take a look at it? I can proofread and edit essays in all subject areas.  

 

What is the difference between proofreading and editing? 

 

Proofreading includes fixing language issues such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice and style. Editing, on the other hand, focuses on making sure that the meaning and logic of your work are crystal clear; this involves carefully reviewing your essay as a whole, at the paragraph level, and the sentence level to make sure that your essay is coherent (i.e. it makes sense and is logical) and cohesive (i.e. your ideas are joined up properly) and that you express yourself clearly in a manner that conforms to the expectations of your lecturers.  In my experience, it is the editing element that adds the most value; it is something that Grammarly and ChatGPT cannot do!
