| Some people out there are blessed with the ability to proofread and edit their academic work without error. I almost wish this was the case with me, but it isn’t. It has taken me years and years to get proofreading right. I still from time to time make small mistakes either because I don’t have the enthusiasm, energy or mental strength to complete the task.
I know there are lots of other people who are not as blessed as maybe I am when it comes to being able to self criticise their work and accurately proofread and edit their academic work. For the people that fall into this category, I would recommend that they send their work for proofreading and editing to someone that has trained within this area.
Although you will have to pay for proofreading work, it is still worth it if you consider how many more marks you might gain from your lecturer. In some cases, it has been possible for students to jump an extra class in their marks, just by employing the services of a trained proofreader.
Another way that you could get proofreading done and this time for free is to get your friends to read your work for you and correct any mistakes in your work. You could then offer to proofread their work for them in return, and that way you both benefit.
If this is not possible, due to you both being from a foreign country where both of you don’t speak English as your first language, then once again, you will most probably need a proofreader. Make sure you research which company is going to be best to meet your needs, as there are lots of them out there and many will offer different types of proofreading services; some that will be suitable and some that won’t be suitable for you depending on the academic work that you are working on at the time
If you are looking for a Proof Reading service that is based in the UK (and therefore uses either trained British or American proofreaders – depending on your preference) then visit http://www.ukassignments.com or try Proofreading UK, they offer a no obligation 300 word free proofreading trial, so that you can see what one page of your work would look like before you place any order with them. |
