§ Grammar Correction · Sentence-level fixes
Sentence-level grammar correction by a PhD subject editor — your prose fixed, your argument left untouched.
Articles, tense, subject–verb agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, dangling modifiers, word choice. A PhD subject editor reads each sentence and fixes what is wrong, then returns a clean, corrected file. Your argument is untouched — only the prose around it changes.
- 01A clean, corrected file. Every fix already applied — open it and keep writing. Nothing to accept, tidy up, or reformat before you submit.
- 02Eight error categories, one editor. The same person who fixes your articles also fixes your tense and your register. No hand-offs, no inconsistencies between paragraphs.
- 03Argument preserved, voice preserved. We correct grammar; we do not rewrite ideas. If a sentence says something we disagree with, it still says it after our pass — just grammatically.
- 0414,000+ chapters edited since 2013. Theses, journal submissions, dissertations across thirty-plus disciplines.

Eight categories, but the work is one read-through. The same editor who corrects your articles also corrects your tense and your register — so the chapter reads as a single voice, not eight passes stitched together.
§ 03 · The method
Why a person corrects grammar better than a checker ever will.
01
Grammar in context, not in isolation
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.
02
Articles, the way English actually works
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.
03
Delivered ready to submit
You receive a clean, corrected file with every fix already applied — nothing to accept, tidy up, or reformat. Drop it straight into your submission, or send it to your supervisor as a finished chapter.
§ 04 · Catalogue
What we correct, indexed by class.
A working list, not exhaustive. Punctuation, hyphenation, capitalisation, and discipline-specific spelling (BrE / AmE) are corrected as part of the same pass — at no extra fee. If your supervisor has a list of pet hates, send it; we honour it.

What scholars say after the corrected file lands in their inbox.
★★★★★
The chapter came back clean and corrected — articles, tense, the lot — without a single change to my argument. My supervisor read it the same evening and signed off.

Grammar Correction
★★★★★
The methods chapter came back reading twice as smoothly — every article right — and not one correction changed what I meant. Exactly the standard I needed before submission.

Grammar Correction
★★★★★
What I did not expect was how consistent it read end to end — the same conventions held across every chapter, not just the ones I worried about. That alone was worth the fee.

Grammar Correction
★★★★★
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.

Questions
FAQ
-
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 structural suggestions. 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.
-
A clean copy. You receive a single corrected .docx with every fix already applied — no tracked changes, no margin comments, nothing to accept or tidy up. Your argument and citations are never touched, so what you and your supervisor open is a finished, correctly-written chapter ready to submit.
-
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 Draft Editing has PhD editors rewrite flagged passages for academic quality, clarity, and your own voice. If your draft has both grammar issues and a high AI detection report percentage, we will combine the two passes into one quotation.
-
You're welcome to start with a single chapter rather than committing the whole thesis — many scholars do exactly that to see the standard first. That chapter is charged at the normal per-page rate, though; we don't offer free sample edits. Once it comes back and you're happy with the standard, send the rest of the manuscript.
-
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.
