Who can help edit my PhD thesis?
Hello
While writing, grammatical and spelling mistakes are bound to happen and I strongly believe in editing. But with my job and family, I am unable to edit my draft and I can’t send it to my supervisor without an edit. So I am simply writing to inquire about any proofreading service that might be of use. And how much will they cost for editing a 50000 words thesis. I would appreciate genuine responses.
Thanks
Fin

I don’t know about professional services. Usually people seek help from friends. How much time do you have for editing your document? Maybe you can work through it?
Tip: Try doing it in bits and do not exhaust yourself.

Thank you for replying Anmar, but no, I don’t have the time to do it. That is why I am looking for an editor..

My English is poor and I too was looking for editing service. There are a lot of online services available for editing. In fact, I sought help from one such company too, dissertationindia.net. They quote as per the requirement (scientific editing, editing or proofreading) and number of words. They took 1 week for editing my thesis of 13,000 words. I was in contact with Astha Sethi.
You can contact them at: +91-11-27355454 and know their terms and prices.

Hey Leonardo, I discussed with Nitisha from Dissertation India. They are charging me with 1300 dollars for the editing in 2 weeks’ time. I first asked them to edit my 1st chapter and see how that goes. It turned out to be really good, so I want to give them my complete thesis. For that I need to make the complete payment, I asked that if I could give them in instalments, but they refused. So I just wanted to ensure that whether I can trust them or not? They seem to be okay but I want to be sure. Thanks.

You have to make the complete payment in the first go. Yes they do offer a free sample editing, to gain trust I guess. You can give them your thesis. They do provide revisions if you are not satisfied with the work.
