Can I get someone to proofread my essay?
Answer
The university doesn't offer a proofreading service.
Many of the paid proofreading companies that you will find online offer a service which would breach the college definition of plagiarism.
You can however get free, extensive advice on academic writing which does not count as plagiarism from Academic Skills Enhancement.
Their Resources page has guidance on many of the most challenging aspects of academic writing.
They also regularly run workshops on aspects of academic writing. You can check book a place on one of their upcoming sessions on their Workshops page.
You can also access one-to-one support on your writing. Academic Skills Enhancement runs One-to-One Tutorials and Drop-ins in which you can get advice on essay planning, your tightening up your reasoning and argument, being critical, editing and other aspects of writing.
While the Royal Literary Fund Fellows, an independent service run by professional authors, also offers tutorials to QMUL students and staff.
These services are focussed on helping you to improve as a writer, rather than on editing your work for you.
