DO NOT use gradually.me editing services


Recommended Posts

Just a warning to everyone out there who would be interested in using the professional editing service gradually.me: don't. They are cheap but the price is not worth the quality. I sent them a draft of my SOP and resume recently. The comments for the first round of edits were not insightful and basic. Basically anyone who has passed high school English could have provided them. Furthermore their lack of professionalism and response to e-mails is lacking, by which I mean doesn't really happen.

 

A few of my peers have had several experiences and we would all recommend Essay Edge.

 

Sorry for the rant, but I felt strongly enough about this to share with others.

Editing companies may not have their own people who do the editing. When I was working on MA, the dept chair sent an email to GAs regarding an outside editing job. I got in touch with them. They were an editing company and soliciting assistance from English departments around the country to gain grad student workers who could help in the editing process. Many of these editing companies are foreign nationals, whose English may be no better than yours, which is why they are seeking to hire English grad students. You are much better off contacting the English Dept or writing center at your university directly, in order to learn if they have grad students who would like to work with you on an editing project prior to sending it to professors within your department for review. Just my own opinion.
