For a single chapter, a paper draft, or a coursework submission.
- Up to 25 pages
- Sentence-level grammar pass
- Track-changes + clean copy
- One-line reason on every edit
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.
18 edits across 8 categories — argument unchanged, citations unchanged, equations unchanged. The paragraph reads cleaner; the meaning is exactly what you wrote.
A checker flags every "data is" as wrong; a subject editor reads the surrounding paragraph and decides. Sometimes the collective singular is what your discipline prefers — and it stays. We correct grammar that breaks meaning, not grammar that simply differs from the textbook.
A · an · the is the single hardest area for non-native writers and the one no checker gets right. Our editors fix it from the meaning of your sentence — definite vs. indefinite, generic vs. specific, count vs. mass — not from a confidence score. Most chapters come back with thirty to sixty article fixes; the difference in readability is immediate.
Methods sections sound different from a discussion. A discussion sounds different from an abstract. We tune your register — formal academic, hedged claims, passive where it belongs — without flattening your voice into the dead, thesaurus-driven prose a tool produces.
Every edit annotated, plus a one-line note in the margin: why this comma, why past simple, why the article. You learn the patterns as you accept the edits — by the time chapter four comes back, you are catching half of them yourself.
Drop your chapter or manuscript and tell us a deadline that suits you. Optional: send the supervisor's style preferences if any (BrE/AmE, Oxford comma, hedging level). Takes a minute.
We open the file, count pages excluding bibliography and quoted blocks, choose the right tier by manuscript stage, and email a quotation. No payment until you approve.
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.
You receive two files: the marked-up .docx (every edit annotated, comments inline) and a clean copy with everything accepted. Plus a one-page summary of edit patterns and where to watch in the next chapter.

For a single chapter, a paper draft, or a coursework submission.
Whole-thesis or full journal manuscript. The most common slab.
Pre-submission grammar pass tuned to the target journal's register.
When the deadline is tomorrow morning. Same editorial standard, faster.
Every edit annotated, with a one-line reason in the margin — exactly what my supervisor wanted to see. He read the diff once and signed off the chapter the same evening.
Forty-two article fixes in the methods chapter alone. None of them changed what I meant — but the chapter reads twice as smoothly. Two weeks later I caught half the same patterns in chapter four myself.
What I did not expect was the pattern summary at the end. One page on which categories were heaviest in my draft and what to watch for next time. That alone was worth the fee.
Submitted a Springer revision at 2 a.m., editor returned the polished manuscript by lunchtime. Tense was reconciled across the methods and discussion — something the previous round had missed entirely.
BrE locked across the whole thesis. My supervisor's pet hates list was honoured to the letter. Honest pricing, exact deadline, no chasing.
We send the M.Phil. cohort each year for grammar pass before the viva. Two years running now. Same editor, same standard, no surprises in the invoice.
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 Reduction rewrites flagged text to read naturally and pass detectors. If your draft has both grammar issues and high AI-detected percentages, 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.
Articles, tense, agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, modifiers, word choice. Eight error classes, one PhD subject editor, every edit annotated. Argument and citations untouched.
