I contracted Melanie's editorial services for my MBA thesis in preparation for its submission. She was extremely professional in her approach and was very clear about the type of support she could provide. Her editing work was comprehensive and detailed, and the thesis was greatly improved in terms of the flow and clarity and I achieved a Distinction. Melanie ensured the work met the requirements of academic standards and greatly improved its presentation. Her challenging style helped me to do my best work at a very stressful time. I would highly recommend Melanie to other students undertaking academic/research activity.
