Why use a proof reader?

Source: Sophie Tindale, Postgraduate Toolbox, Added By:

When you reach the end of your thesis you might think you are nearing the end but the job is far from over. When you are at the stage of continually reworking, changing and editing your writing it can often feel like you can do nothing right; every change seems to bring more changes and that elusive final draft seems so near yet so far. It is at this stage that you might consider a professional proof reader or editor.

Although it is a difficult step for some, a professional editor is simply there to advise you on how to make your final draft slicker and more flowing; they are not in any way undermining your writing or research ability. When you are so involved with your research and written material, you are less likely to see typos, spelling errors, or confusing parts in your work and an editor is trained to read your thesis with a critical eye to eliminate those errors. With a good professional service, proofreading is a great way to lift a weight off your mind and to have confidence that your final draft is expertly polished.

Here are 6 reasons why getting a professional proof reader can be a great idea:

1. They have a trained eye for details and mistakes that we might not be aware of.

2. They have a fresh approach to the text. As postgraduates we become very attached to our writing and can become blind to our own writing style and mistakes.

3. Gives you more time to concentrate on the other important aspects, such as the content.

4. Many services now have a try before you buy scheme where you can view the standard of service they provide before you hand over your whole document.

5. They only advise you they don’t make the changes for you so you have the freedom to take or leave their suggestion. It is still your piece of work.

6. Professional proofreading is great for those with English as a second language as they can pick up on your grammatical or spelling mistakes and help you to write in the correct style.
