Theses and Dissertations

“As a foreigner, editing for my PhD thesis was absolutely crucial for me. The editor was very kind from day one and kept the dates promised for returning work perfectly. His recommendations for my thesis were very fresh views to me and extremely helpful. He clearly understands authors of theses and knows best, and was very polite with all of his suggestions. Overall, the service I received from Parallax was very professional and reliable. I absolutely recommend this service to every student who has English as a second language.”

Dr Yang

“I was having big problems with my thesis and only had a few weeks to get it right. Thank you very much for such good work. You made my writing clear, your comments helped me to improve my work significantly and my abstract is much better. I cannot thank you enough and definitely recommend that others use you.”

Ahmed − PhD Student

“I am very pleased with the service and will definitely use it again. I particularly liked the commitment to work and discussing it with me (I was happy about that). The comments and suggestions helped very much. The editor was reliable, did everything as we agreed in advance and met the deadline (even before the agreed dates). I strongly recommend this service and am sure anyone will be happy with the quality of work.”

Poetry and Prose

"Last night I spent an hour with an expert. As James Bond said, in Goldfinger I think, any real expert, no matter what their field, is worth listening to.

Colin of Parallax Consultancy is an undoubted expert in the field of editing. I never really understood the job of an editor, and I certainly had no appreciation of the attention to detail required to do it.

I didn't really expect it to be much of a problem for anyone – maybe a full stop or comma out of place occasionally,
the odd typo, etc. However, Colin had obviously spent hours working on the thing.

“Parallax showed effective time management and a professional approach, being clear about given objectives. The written report is testimony to this. It is a thorough account of the festival, written in an accurate and clear way with realistic recommendations as its conclusion. I would have no hesitation to use Parallax again for this calibre of work.”
