Topic: _‎„~"¯"^»~-‎ Chris!'s paper editing service -~«^"¯"~„_ (Read 1997 times)

I'm free to do some editing if anyone has a job for me! Send me a PM or reply here.

I prefer to have a week to edit large projects (10+ pages) but we can always get it done in time if you need it sooner. I do require at least 48h for smaller projects as well.

Not a problem! I really don't post reviews on these things to be a douche, but rather to help keep the public informed. Far too many people get screwed by hiring people that are unqualified, simply because they don't know any better. Sort of like the person with a doctorate in journalism that still doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're" when writing.

I do agree with you in the sense that this is totally improper. The fact is that there were a ton of 'made up' words and vocabulary in this paper. It's not the most mainstream paper that I've edited but I didn't have any of my own 'normal' papers left that are written in plain English. I'm done with school!! Never again!! Yahoo!! *delete* *delete* *delete*. In a few minutes I got rid of years of work. In hindsight I should have kept the papers I wrote.

What it comes down to is the fact that I don't change anything on your paper. I say: femaleness Should be femininity, womanliness, ladylike etc. From there it's up to the writer if they actually change it. The fact is that femaleness is the word they wanted to use because I was a word the professor taught in the class.

Just an FYI: I added this paper because they actually received a 96% on it which was completely unheard of and the professor was so impressed with the paper she gave out th highest mark she had ever given a student. They went to one of the top 3 Universities in Canada so this isn't just some community college either. There are lots of examples in this paper that aren't considered proper English but the fact is that they aren't mistakes and they aren't "...so improper...". If this was a non-fiction novel then you're absolutely right. As a Gender Studies paper this is the kind of writing that's needed to get top marks.

Here's another example of what I would assume you consider improper:

"Characters who exhibit autonomous a self-governing behaviours are considered successfully 'doing masculinity'.

'Doing masculinity' doesn't make any sense to anyone. It was written in a Gender Studies textbook and the words were taken verbatim. If I were to write 'Bitcoin' and 'ASIC' in a paper in 2012 then those words would also be improper. It's all about who you're writing the paper for.

To summarize, I agree with you that it's improper and cringe-worthy for most people to read. If this academic paper was for the general public, then yes we would have had to make changes. This was a paper that literally took weeks to research, write and edit. (Note: I did NOT write it). I'm great at editing but not as great at taking a lot of ideas and placing them into 'the perfect paper'.

Thank you very much for your review. I appreciate t 8.5 out of 10 but I really did want to explain that in depth. Don't worry, things like that didn't go unnoticed. In the end it's about what the client wants. I can't force anyone to take my recommendations. Feel free to ask anyone who has used my service about their experience. It's a discussion, not just me making changes. Bandot has used my services 3x so far and there have been many times where he's decided to stick to his original wording or grammar. In the end if the client is happy, then I'm happy. Thanks again for the kind words.

I'll post a quick review here based on his "fixed" article in the OP. Overall, it's not too bad (when factoring in his low prices). If you're going for something really important (entrance essay, extremely important academic essay, book you plan to publish, etc.), I'd refrain. Things like this can be killer:

"...suggesting that femaleness is captivating"

That's so improper, it's painful to read. The correct word usage here is "femininity." There were countless other issues as well, but he did better than most "editors" around here, so I'll give him an 8.5/10.

Thanks BldSwtTrs . As I said, feel free to PM anytime you need me in the future.

Chris reviewed and edited my cover letter. Very happy with his attitude and the result.

Thanks to my first repeat customer so far Bandot.

Thanks for the review and let me know when you're ready for me to edit that next paper.

Suggested edits on my paper and was very thorough and polite. I would definitely recommend this service.

Hi!‎
‎
Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Chris and I'm a native English speaker from Canada. I'm looking to edit your papers, articles, columns or anything else you can throw at me.

I've written a ton of papers myself when I was in school and edited countless of my friends' and family's work.‎

I’ve edited a lot of University papers for many different Bachelor's Degrees. My example shows a Gender Studies paper. I've also edited papers for marketing, sales, geography, history and psychology. If you're not a native English speaker I'd be happy to look over anything you've written as well.‎
‎
Here's an example of what you can expect after I've gone through your writings:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B5H4NEzJ7IpKFBiJ4dWWo4hi5miVYPorG0jNUYpG5GM/edit?usp=sharing

What I charge

I'll base the payment off of how much work will need to go into my editing. Please upload your document to google docs and I'll give you a quote. If you aren't comfortable with that let me know and we'll work something else out. I'm very flexible.

Payment

I will expect payment first unless I deem you trusted (repeat customer, high trust levels). I’m fine if you would like to use escrow. You will cover the fees.

Services I don’t provide
‎

• Writing papers. I only fix grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and suggest better wording. ‎
• Fact checks for your papers.
  Example: "The Empire state building is 6000 feet tall and can hold 100,000 people at any given time."
  ‎I'll assume these facts are correct based on your own research and reliable sources.
• APA, MLS, Turabian, or Chicago Citation. Nor will I help with your‎ bibliography. Why not? The rules are always changing and I'm quite sure I'm not up to date on them. I can suggest websites that I've used but of course so can a good old fashioned Google search.

‎
Example of what I can help you with:

"A typical factory can pump out as much as 16,000 parts a day. That's the same as 5.84 million parts a year."‎
‎
"A typical automotive parts manufacturer can assemble upwards of 16,000 units per day which is equivalent to about 5.84 million units per annum."(source)

Payment Quotes

For the most accurate quote please upload your document to Google docs and send me the link via PM. I prefer 1 week (7 days) notice for large projects (10+ pages) and I require at least 48h notice for any smaller projects. I will work with you to get the editing done ASAP but I like to set realistic expectations as this is something I do on the side.

Confidentiality Agreement

I will not use your papers for promotional purposes on my thread or anywhere else unless I have written confirmation from you stating you will allow it.
All information is kept between myself and the client. There are no other 3rd parties involved (except google docs. If you don't trust / don't want to use google docs let me know and I can edit your document in another way).
