FAQs (Answers by Dr. Davis)
Q: Do you offer discounts?
A: All my rates are competitive and I believe it is unfair
to charge different people different rates so not
usually no. However, at quieter times of year I do
advertise discounts on my Facebook page.
Q: Could you paraphrase something for me or check AI generated text?
A: Yes, I could, but generally experience tells me the results of doing so do
not come close to those you can attain if you do the work yourself.
Why are you pursuing a degree if not to learn and develop your own
knowledge understanding and academic voice?
I am passionate about helping you do that, and adding some extra sparkle to
your work. If you send work written by AI there is no 'your voice' for me to polish.
Q: Can you explain how to send my file?
A: Contact me following the link and I will email you.
When you receive my email just attach your file as
a Word document and email it to me.
Q: Can you proofread .pdf files?
A: No sorry I can't at the moment as I don't have the
appropriate software; you will need to convert the
file into a .doc file or an .rtf file.
Q: Can you edit my file to meet the guidelines
of a specific journal?
A: Yes, but this is still not a guarantee that
it will be accepted.
Q: What hours do you work?
A: I work on UK time so I am normally online between
the hours of 9am and 10pm 7 days a week and I will
try and respond to your emails as soon as I receive
them on weekdays.
Q: How do I know if I should choose
proofreading or editing?
A: Just ask, I will be happy to advise you.
Q: Can I have your phone number?
A: No, sorry. Last year I proofread 50 million words for
over 600 people so it really would not be practical
to take time out from proofreading to answer the
phone. I will always respond as comprehensively
as possible to all emails.
