Wits Language School offers high quality confidential editing, proofreading, formatting, and writing services for academic articles, books, dissertations, business reports, technical reports and other academic documentation. We can assist you with all facets of editing, including grammar, structure, layout, research citation and other aspects of academic discourse.

As every higher degrees student knows, writing a good dissertation is only partly about the research itself. A great deal depends on the way in which the research is presented – is the argumentation clear, logical and consistent? Are the findings presented in an academically acceptable way? Are the referencing and layout correct?

The principles of good writing remain the same, regardless of whether you're working at masters or doctoral level, writing a business report or writing an academic article. The ideas, research and evidence  may all be good but, unless you get them across effectively to your reader, you will not have succeeded in your goal.

That is why, after you've edited your own work, you may want to consider sending your final draft to a professional editor who understands research documents. A dissertation that has been professionally edited contains far fewer mistakes, makes a professional impression, and earns higher marks.

This is where Wits Language School’s academic editors come in. If you want the highest possible mark for your work, if your home language is not English or if formal academic or business writing is not your strength, professional editing is the way to go.
