Chasing Rays Proofreading

Chasing Rays Proofreading I offer a low cost, high-quality proofreading and proof-editing service to academia, businesses and private individuals. I'm waiting to help you if I can.

As your career progresses, be it in an educational or business environment, the need to produce work of the highest quality becomes increasingly important, but is a chore that becomes a drain on time that you just don't have. Therein lies the problem: outsourcing your work for proofreading or proof-editing is generally an expensive business, with the typical student paying £15 or more per 1000 wor

ds. This is where Chasing Rays Proofreading comes in. As a long-time academic, I feel very strongly that any such service must be accessible not only to business professionals, but also to those in the education system, such as pupils and students who have low incomes, as well as people looking for corrections on a casual basis, such as jobseekers. As well as a fast turnaround, I realise that on occasion, you might well have to work right up to a deadline. If it is in any way possible, I will also do my utmost to accommodate you if you have a piece of emergency, last-minute work. I have happy clients across a whole range of academic disciplines including engineering, physical science, medical science, finance law, pharmacology, business studies, criminal law, as well as in business for marketing material. Feel free to send me an email or give me a call.

For some time now, a good number of my clients have been unable to complete their invoices online due to restrictions in their countries. With Chasing Rays Proofreading's new payment portal, this should hopefully now be a thing of the past!

Due to problems making payments in some countries, I have recently moved to a better payment gateway that should help make payments from anywhere in the world.

On very rare occasions, I might be forced to return work either unstarted or incomplete. If you're worried about the standards of your English, this article describes when this might be necessary and how to ensure this doesn't happen to you.

On very rare occasion, it becomes necessary for me to either refuse to do a piece of work, or otherwise return a set of incomplete corrections. When, and under what circumstances, might this happen?

Life happens, and sometimes you have to send work for proofreading at the last minute. If you're in this position, it's important you read this post.

I appreciate that things don't always work out timewise, and it's not infrequent that I'll get an email or message asking if I can complete some corrections in only a day, or even just a few hours. Whilst I'm happy to do emergency or last-minute work, there are a few things you should bear in mind,....

Advice for when a plagiarism report suggests a lot of your work is apparently copied, when you haven't done so.

I'm occasionally asked to help interpret plagiarism reports, particularly when such a report suggests a high proportion of plagiarism, despite the author being adamant they have not copied. Here is some advice about these reports, particularly those from Turnitin.

Which dialect of English do you need your proofreading or proof-editing in?

The vast majority of work is fine in either British or US English, with most publishers accepting either given the relatively few differences between them. But what if you need a specific dialect?
