Frequently Asked Questions
Will editing my thesis count as academic misconduct?
Professional editing is permitted at virtually every Australian university. We follow IPEd Australian Standards for Editing Practice — improving your writing without changing your meaning or arguments. Check your institution's editing policy if unsure.
What's the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading is surface-level — grammar, spelling, punctuation, typos. Copy editing adds clarity and flow. Substantive editing goes deeper into structure, argument coherence, and evidence quality.
Will my editor change my arguments or ideas?
No. Editors improve how your ideas are expressed — they never substitute their ideas for yours. Substantive editors may flag weak arguments as comments for you to decide on. Your voice remains yours.
Can you edit my thesis in 48 hours?
Yes — 48-hour rush editing available for an additional 30% fee. We've completed full Honours thesis edits in this window many times. Contact us via WhatsApp for urgent availability.
Do you use tracked changes?
Yes. Every edit is delivered as a Word document with all changes tracked, plus a clean version with changes accepted. You see exactly what was changed and can accept or reject any edit.
What if I want changes after delivery?
All editing orders include 14 days of free revisions. Supervisor feedback or any changes — your editor handles them at no additional cost within that window.
