REVISED SECOND EDITION (2023)Includes a new section on the use of AI.Proofreading Theses and Dissertations introduces some of the basic principles of proofreading academic texts. In many respects, the work required is the same as for any other proofread - you check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and consistency - but it is complicated by the fact that the thesis or dissertation must be the student's own work.The guide explores the nature of this type of proofreading as well as the practicalities of how to get work, calculating fees and negotiating with students. It then deals with potentially thorny ethical issues such as what to do with possible plagiarism, how you should approach the use of AI, and how much to query, intervene in or change the student's writing.

George Viviani has it all, a publishing contract, a feisty mistress and a loving family waiting for him at home. It's a pity he'll be dead before the day is done. But it doesn't stop there. Soon it seems that anyone with a connection to George is experiencing strange and frightening phenomena. Gradually, a widening group of desperate people find themselves drawn together, as they are taken over by a creeping sense of unreality. Events begin to spiral out of control and only one man-Cheyne Tully, ghost hunter-has a chance of discovering the truth before it's too late.
