Review, guidance and editing
Specialists give feedback, explain the reasoning behind it, and edit language and structure where agreed.
You revise and decide
You make the substantive decisions and own the final text. We can review a revised version within scope.
Every project is scoped before pricing. You receive the proposed scope, deliverables, timeline and fee before work begins.

- A pre-submission checklist of remaining issues
- Mock viva questions and preparation discussion, where agreed
What we do not do

Frequently asked questions
Will you write my literature review?
No. We guide you on search strategy, organisation and critical synthesis, and we review and edit what you write. The analysis and the text remain yours.
Can you check my thesis for plagiarism?
We can advise on correct citation and paraphrasing and flag passages that need attributing. We do not help manipulate similarity-detection systems.
Can you help me prepare for my viva?
Yes. Preparation can include discussing likely questions on your methods and limitations, and practising explanations of your own work.
