A thesis or book is the result of a great deal of study and research, and often forms the basis of your future work. Language editing means that your text is in correct, publication-quality English.

Planning time for language editing of your thesis or book

Finishing a thesis or book can be a stressful time, and it is therefore best to plan time in advance for language editing. Below are a number of recommendations based on our experience of editing longer texts:

  • Plan time for language editing. We normally recommend approximately 20 working days, depending on the length of the text. For urgent texts, we have a special express service
  • Consult the PhraseBook for Writing Papers and Research in English. This will help you avoid unnecessary errors
  • From experience, we recommend language editing of the complete text for a coherent final document. This is because a text undergoes several stages of editing, and there are often final changes that affect the whole of the thesis or book. For example, something in the last chapter may necessitate a change in the first chapter
  • Allow time after language editing for you to read through the corrected text
