Finally, the chief editor will make every effort to assign an editor to your project based on his or her expertise and experience, to ensure that you receive the best possible feedback.

WordsRU's professional, experienced editors understand that a thesis is vital to the successful completion of your degree; at WordsRU, your academic success is of utmost importance.

What WordsRU's Thesis Editing
Service Can Do for You

Congratulations!, your thesis is written! But now what? Chances are, once you look over your university's submission guidelines and take a look at a few paragraphs from your thesis at random, you'll realize that you still have a long way to go before your thesis is ready to be submitted for evaluation or printing.
There are loads of detailed formatting requirements, you have to make sure that you've treated special words and concepts consistently throughout the paper and that you've prepared figures and statistical abbreviations correctly...the list goes on and on.

Fortunately, that's where WordsRU steps in. Our Plus Service will take the rough draft of your thesis in hand and return a copy that

  • has been fully formatted to your university's submission guidelines;
  • perfectly conforms to the style guide (APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, etc.);
  • has corrected the typos and errors;
  • has been rephrased to avoid passive voice, awkward phrasing, incongruous word choice, and to implement a formal, academic tone that is appropriate to your esteemed reader;
  • is filled with useful comments to help improve your writing ability, suggest re-organization options, and let you know about gaps or tangents in the discussion;
  • addresses any other concerns you have in mind.

If your thesis has been accepted and just needs a final check before you send it to the printer for binding and publication, our Basic Proofread service will be just what you need. This is a lower cost option that delivers the correction of errors.

In addition, you will be provided with

  • grammar
  • spelling
  • punctuation
  • style

as well as notes and comments to alert you to larger issues in phrasing or formatting that you might wish to revise.

Our service can save you weeks of detailed revising and review with your advisor and committee. When you come to WordsRU for your thesis editing, you can feel confident that the final draft will reflect highly on all that you've achieved!

We will return two copies of your thesis: a marked copy, with all corrections and comments showing, and a revised copy that has the corrections accepted and comments removed. Note that the revised copy will not necessarily be ready to submit to your professor or Chair! You should review and address any comments or suggestions the editor has made before you submit. There may be additional information you need to add to the reference list entries or gaps in the discussion that require revision.

Furthermore, WordsRU will remain available to assist you even after the edit has been completed! Your editor will answer any questions you have, clarify the editorial comments, and even review brief passages that you decided to revise based on his or her comments and feedback.

Most importantly, our high ethical standards ensure that your academic integrity will remain intact. WordsRU editors do not add content or alter the meaning of your writing (nor do we provide thesis writing, researching, or statistical analysis services). Our editors' suggestions and recommendations, however, will help you revise your thesis to make it the best it can be, well within the rules and regulations of your school's plagiarism and ethical standards policy.

My Chair/Mentor/Advisor told me that he/she wants my final draft right away! How long will it take to edit?

We will meet your deadline whenever possible. If your deadline is short, we offer expedited service (for an additional fee). The chief editor will work with you to establish a deadline that works for you and also allows the editor to conduct a thorough and complete edit.

I'm already paying for tuition, books...you name it! Is editing expensive?

WordsRU understands the cost of being a student! Knowing this, the chief editor will offer you the best price possible. We also know that having your dissertation edited is essential to its acceptance, so our editing services offer the most for your money. WordsRU's editors will help your paper move faster through the acceptance process because we catch the writing, form, and style issues early, and drastically reduce the time you would otherwise spend revising. Since your reviewers will be able to read strictly for content, you and your committee can focus on what is most important: your research!

What if I have questions after the editor returns my prospectus, idea paper, proposal, or final dissertation report?

We invite your questions after the edit is completed! Your editor will remain available to answer your questions, explain any comments or recommendations, and even review specific passages that you may have revised, based on the edit.

My school/department requires a form to be filled out by the editor. Will you do that?

Of course! Either your editor or the chief editor (who is ultimately responsible for the work) will be happy to fill out your form.

What if my dissertation is not approved?

WordsRU provides a comprehensive and thorough academic editing service, as well as an opportunity for you to ask questions after the edit. We cannot promise that your Chair, Mentor, or Advisor will approve your dissertation; however, if any issues are found that are directly related to the edit, we will correct the issues free of charge.

My school/department has very strict rules related to formatting. Will the editor help me with formatting?

If you let the WordsRU chief editor know about any particular issues or concerns you want addressed in the edit, we will factor those into your job. We are very familiar with many university and college guidelines and can ensure that your paper meets their requirements, including formatting. If we don't already have your school's dissertation guidelines, the editor will gladly review and follow any guidelines you provide.

I need a few references added, but I'm in a hurry. I can supply the websites, and all you have to do is look them up and add them. Is this included in your editing service?

WordsRU has a very firm policy when it comes to academic papers of all kinds. We will not conduct research, write, add to, or alter your content, nor conduct data analysis. We believe that students' work should be their own. If you have incomplete references, your editor will indicate what information is needed, so that you can look it up and add it.

Can I talk to a live person?

Absolutely! The chief editor is available both by phone and the message feature on the job page you create. Your editor will be available through the message feature only, but will promptly answer your messages. Plus, the chief editor stays in the background throughout the entire process, from your initial contact with WordsRU to completion of the job—and even afterwards, should you need more editing.

Your dissertation deserves to shine! WordsRU's skilled editors will relieve you of the hassle of revising and perfecting your work. Come one step closer to completing your degree; get a free quote today!
