Essay editing and proofreading

Have you ever lost marks because of poor spelling, bad grammar or weak structure? You've done the research and have your argument ready to go, but you just can't seem to phrase it correctly. This is where BetterEdit comes in. We take what you have written, clean up the grammar, double check your spelling and make sure your structure is fluent, concise and logical. We will rework your writing until it reads perfectly.

The BetterEdit clientele

Our services have been used by a range of students, from those who already possess a solid grasp of English, to those for whom English is a second language. Even students who have written English since childhood have been surprised upon seeing their grammar and structure corrected. Top English students also benefit from professional proofreading and editing, often finding that nothing is more valuable than a second pair of eyes to analyse their work. If your document is already at a high standard and requires only proofreading, your fee will be reduced.

Editing and proofreading is vital if you have English as a second language. We recommend that international students have their writing professionally edited. The difference can be dramatic, turning failing or average grades into top marks.

For those students that struggle to meet deadlines, we offer express services (see turnaround time below). If you finish writing an essay at 8am and have to hand it in by that afternoon, we are available to transform those rushed paragraphs into a concise assignment while you work on your next deadline.

Professional proofreaders

All our editors have tertiary qualifications. We require our staff to have extensive experience of editing and writing academic papers, and a strong understanding of the requirements of university and college professors (some of our editors are university professors!). We also like our staff to be very friendly and flexible, so even if you think you won't finish your assignment till 3am, chances are we can still help. If you want that personal touch, just ask, and we can have an editor work closely with you so you understand why changes are being made.

What we do

• Spelling and punctuation
• Appropriate vocabulary
• Solecisms and syntax
• Repetition, ambiguity and redundancy
• Omissions and inconsistencies
• Structural organisation and logical progression
• Consistency of style

• Edit to a specified word limit
• Preserve your "voice"
• Eliminate verbosity and rambling

In doing this we will make the necessary changes to ensure that your work is coherent and concise, has internal consistency, and is organised upon logical principles. In short, we will clean up any aspects of awkward writing and convert confusion to clarity.

Pricing, payment and turnaround time

Prices for 48 hour and 24 hour turnaround are available from our prices page. Read our payment page to learn what methods of payment we accept.

An average 0-5000 word assignment can be returned in 48 hours and will incur our standard fee. If you are in a rush we can reduce turnaround time to 24 hours, but this will incur an additional fee. For jobs requiring a turnaround of less than 12 hours please contact us to confirm that we will be able to meet your deadline.
