Happy clients
Marta Ill Raga, PhD student at Ghent University: I really recommend working with Aalap. He did an excellent job and helped me edit my PhD thesis successfully in a very short period of time. He is respectful of the original text, and his edits are very thoughtful. He also points out different aspects of the text that can be improved or clarified. I would no doubt work with him again in the future!
Diqin Ma, Postgraduate student at University of Glasgow: Working with Aalap was a great experience. As English is my second language, I have difficulties with referencing and grammar when writing my thesis. Aalap did an excellent job, not only in identifying grammatical errors, but also in checking non-English references. This is really helpful.
Michelle Lomberg, Director of Content Services at PanGlobal Training Systems: Aalap’s initiatives in project tracking, process documentation, and workflow communications improved the productivity of the editing team at PanGlobal. He introduced a program of professional development that provided the editors with skills development and regular feedback. His approach to problem solving is thoughtful and research based. He has excellent communication skills and is a delightful person to work with.
Nelson Jatel, PhD student: As a doctoral student, finding a responsive and effective copyeditor was important for my portfolio dissertation. Working with Aalap at DraftEd Editorial Services was an excellent experience, from start to finish! His professionalism, communication skills and ability to address my sensitive timelines were managed brilliantly. The copyediting process was well documented and done to a very high standard. I highly recommend Aalap for any graduate student looking for professional and timely copyediting services!
