Although it may be tempting to approach many organisations and individuals who offer proofreading and editing services, in order to get the best price for your document, book or thesis; you might find yourselves in a trap of your own making when you discover that the end product you receive is not up to the standard you expected. You then have to start all over again, looking for a more professional, more experienced editor who will do the job right.

  • You will then have wasted your precious time and money.
  • A professional proofreader and/or editor will make sure that your manuscript is written clearly, with no unnecessary wording, or incorrect words, with perfect syntax, correct tenses, and using direct speech, instead of indirect speech; perfect word flow and with attention being paid to your unique style of writing and voice, (in the case of a book or short story).
  • Your proofreader/editor will have made sure that your manuscript is then completely ready for submission to your professor/supervisor, publisher or ebook publisher; or for self publishing through a platform such as Amazon
  • When it comes to books; An editor who is worth his/her salt will also offer guidance on how to shepherd your publication through the myriad complications that accompany publication.
  • Your thesis will be protected by the fact that a deep proofreading and editing process will in most cases, require many changes; which means that plagiarism will not be a problem as you will get a good score on Turnitin.
  • The editor will use "Tracking" which will allow you to go through the document in detail and accept or reject all changes or use alternative wording if desired, and will offer guidance through this process if needed.
  • Busy Bee Editing will give you comprehensive details on turnaround times, the way we operate with your quote and a professional certificate on completion.
  • We also offer you excellent value for money; so please feel free to request a no-obligation quote any time.

We have found with experience that it is cheaper in the long run to use a professional to handle the job you need to be done, whether it be proofreading, grooming your dog or keeping your garden in trim.
