Proof Reading
We are able to proof read (and format, check reference style and  cross-check citations in text to refs etc) for higher degrees and/or publications. We can also, if required, then print (B&W and colour) and bind the work (both soft 'examination' bindings and sewn hard final bindings). Charges are based on time taken rather than per page, and time taken will depend upon how much needs to be read, number of changes, readability and so on (we simply record time spent on each action as we go along). Should the format of the work require extensive re-working to bring it up to submission standard, then an allowance for such extra time and cost needs to be considered. We try to retain the submitting author's individual style as much as possible during our proofing. Please note that the work at all times remains factually what you have supplied -we will not and do not 'ghost' write! Timescale again is variable. Return of printed and bound work would  normally be by personal collection from ourselves or by signed-for courier, at cost. Your work will also be provided as a file after final binding. We can provide a good and reasonably accurate estimation of likely costs once we have seen either a typical chapter or the whole work - we would then normally take a few minutes having a quick check, via e-mail, of one of the thesis files (or the whole work as appropriate) to ascertain a more precise idea of what might need to be done and, consequently, have a better idea of likely price. There would naturally be no charge for this bit - it just gives both parties a better idea of what we might expect. So long as your available budget is in approximate accordance with our estimation of likely costs, we would then normally arrange a short meeting to discuss your exact requirements, timescale and so on. However, there is usually a need to pre-book! There is often a waiting list, so advance warning is of great benefit to all concerned. Each person and their work is individual to us, so it is difficult to be very precise about cost and timescale until we have seen the work and what is involved.Most important of all, we do ensure that once a thesis is taken on then all agreed deadlines are always met.
