*Proof-editing combines proofreading and editing in one job, usually for cost-effectiveness purposes or because a deadline looms (though it is not ideal).
**Trimming involves reducing the amount of words in a document without losing the essence of it and maintaining (or even improving) style. It can be done as an additional or separate service. Please contact me to discuss a separate trimming service.
*** These rates are for a complete service; if they require only a lower service (e.g. proofreading), rates are reduced accordingly.

A thesis is, for many, the most important academic document they will write. It usually has implications throughout one's career way beyond postgraduate study so it's worth investing in it, spending time on it and getting it the best it can be.

Mixing Services

Usually, it's not simply a matter of using one service only as other services are frequently incorporated into thesis work, which is agreed on and costed at the outset accordingly. However, mixing services sometimes happens within the overall cost for specific points during my work. For example, one student using my thesis rewriting services sometimes benefited from my thesis/academic supervision and guidance service, thus increasing service value.

"Colin gave me great advice on and wonderful ideas for the thesis, like a research supervisor. For this, I am very grateful, especially as my own professor was at that time on a transfer to a new university and had not much time to supervise me."

As noted in the terms, sometimes an additional Unsociable Hours Fee and/or a Quick Turnaround Fee is appropriate. Thesis Services must mention this at the outset.

Payment

Payment is made via bank transfer or PayPal (additional cost). As noted in the terms, payment is upfront.
