Professional editing service

[cookderosa]

Is it legal and ethical to use a professional editing service for the Capstone at TESU? For editing and proofreading. Not for actually writing it, of course. How about having a friendor family member look it over before submission?

You may have a hard time finding a legitimate editor. A LOT of writing services are under the disguise of editing/proofing when in reality they are writers selling their content. Years ago when I investigated hiring an editor for my book I spent a lot of time looking and ultimately settled on volunteers. There are some gig sites that will charge you per page - but let me offer this, have you downloaded the free version of Grammarly? It is AWESOME and works with most word processing programs. When you type, it is running a full grammar check as you go (not just spell check) so if I forget a comma (or more likely, add too many of them in lol) it is auto-checking constantly. If I mix up their, they're and there, it's indicating it right now. They have a premium version that I don't use ($) but it goes a lot deeper and can rewrite sentences and help with word choice too. I think it's about $50, might be cheaper to use Grammarly premium for a month than hire an editor. (and less murky ethically)
