- Up to 25 pages
- Sentence-level grammar pass
- Track-changes + clean copy
- One-line reason on every edit
Sentence-level grammar correction, returned with every edit annotated — visible to your supervisor.
Articles, tense, subject–verb agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, dangling modifiers, word choice. A PhD subject editor reads each sentence, fixes what is wrong, and leaves a one-line reason in the margin. Your argument is untouched — only the prose around it changes.
- 01Every edit annotated. Open the file, accept what you agree with, query what you don't. Your supervisor reads the same diff and sees exactly what we did.
- 02Eight error categories, one editor. The same person who fixes your articles also fixes your tense and your register. No hand-offs, no inconsistencies between paragraphs.
- 03Argument preserved, voice preserved. We correct grammar; we do not rewrite ideas. If a sentence says something we disagree with, it still says it after our pass — just grammatically.
- 0414,000+ chapters edited since 2013. Theses, journal submissions, dissertations across thirty-plus disciplines.
What returns to your inbox — every edit annotated.
18 edits across 8 categories — argument unchanged, citations unchanged, equations unchanged. The paragraph reads cleaner; the meaning is exactly what you wrote.

Subject editor reads & corrects
Your file is hand-matched to a PhD editor in your discipline. They read each sentence, fix what is wrong, and leave a one-line reason for every non-trivial change in the margin.

FAQ
-
Grammar correction stays at the sentence level — articles, tense, agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, modifiers, and word choice. Copy-editing goes further: paragraph-level reorganisation, argument tightening, and supervisor-style suggestions in the margin. If your draft needs structural rework, ask about our Copy-Editing service at quote — it is priced separately and bundled at a discount when ordered together.
-
No. Every chapter is read and corrected by a human PhD subject editor. Tools flag patterns; they cannot judge whether your discipline allows "data is" or insists on "data are". They cannot tell whether "the experiment" or "an experiment" is the right article in your sentence. We do not run your draft through Grammarly before or after our pass.
-
Yes — and that is the point. The marked-up .docx returns with every edit annotated and a one-line reason in the margin for every non-trivial edit. Your supervisor opens the file, scrolls, and sees exactly what we did and why. Many supervisors actively prefer this over a clean copy because they can audit the editor's judgement.
-
Whichever you specify at brief. We lock to a single variant across the manuscript: BrE (Oxford or non-Oxford comma), AmE, or Indian English (which follows BrE conventions with a few institutional preferences — "viva voce", "gazetted", "crore"). If your supervisor or target journal has a preference, send it; we honour it.
-
Not for grammar correction — the editor will polish the prose regardless of provenance. But if your concern is AI-detection scores at submission, that is a different service: AI Draft Editing has PhD editors rewrite flagged passages for academic quality, clarity, and your own voice. If your draft has both grammar issues and a high AI detection report percentage, we will combine the two passes into one quotation.
-
Yes. Send any 2–3 pages and we'll return them edited at no charge — the same editor, the same track-changes format, the same one-line reasons. You see the standard before you commit to a full thesis. Most scholars who request a sample come back with the rest of the manuscript within the week.
-
Anything within the original scope — re-checking a paragraph you revised after delivery, reconciling tense in a new sub-section you added, or polishing the abstract one more time before submission. New chapters, fundamental rewrites, or switching between BrE and AmE are quoted separately. The window starts the day we deliver.
-
Files are stored on encrypted servers for thirty days post-delivery (so we can support touch-ups) and then permanently deleted. We do not share files with third parties, do not feed your work to any model, and will sign an NDA on request at no charge. Your draft is yours alone.
