Professional and Academic Writing

Academic News & Updates

Writing is a great and popular form of communication used in all areas of life, but like many aspects of life, writing is not one-size-fits-all. The writing styles used in texting, emails, cards, and dissertations are all different, and it is important to understand the distinction between them all. Thus, dissertations, and any academic writing, should follow a certain writing style to establish the credibility and reliability of the author.

Primarily, be sure you are thoroughly proofreading your dissertation. Grammar and punctuation errors indicate that you are not being careful and spending time to produce your best work. Think of this as making a good first impression. If your dissertation has been proofread and is free of these kinds of errors, your readers will notice this.
