Who Am I?
I am the sole operator at Chasing Rays Proofreading.
Since completing a PhD in Physical Chemistry in 2000, I have made significant contributions to 30 publications in the scientific literature, and have been active in correcting work ranging from undergraduate projects to PhD theses and grant applications
I have made significant contributions to the instruction and work of hundreds of students during a 20-year career in academia, and as such am fully aware of the pressures and needs that students experience, both work related and financial.
As such, I am fully committed to offering a competitive and comprehensive service not only to commercial entities but to students and academics at very affordable prices, offering a standard 50% discount to students compared to my normal (commercial) fee.
Proofreading and Proof-editing for All
As your career progresses, be it in an educational or business environment, the need to produce work of the highest quality becomes increasingly important, but is a chore that becomes a drain on time that you just don’t have.
Therein lies the problem: outsourcing your work for proofreading and proof-editing is generally an expensive business, with the typical student paying £15 or more per 1000 words.
This is where Chasing Rays Proofreading comes in…
Why Choose Chasing Rays?
Strong Commitment to Students and Academics
As a long-time academic, I feel very strongly that any such service must be accessible not only to business professionals, but also to those in the education system, such as pupils and students who have low incomes, as well as people looking for corrections on a casual basis, such as jobseekers.
Fast Turnaround and Emergency Work
As well as a fast turnaround, I realise that on occasion, you might well have to work right up to a deadline. Because of this, if it is physically possible, I will also do my utmost to accomodate you if you have a piece of emergency, last-minute work.
Wide-ranging Experience
Whilst I have often concentrated on scientific work, I have happy clients across a whole range of academic disciplines including engineering, physical sciences, social sciences, medical science, finance law, pharmacology, business studies, criminal law, as well as in business for marketing material, equipment manuals, and general documents.

Hope you are doing well. I have finally received my grade for the research project with which you've been helping me out. I have attached the feedback form. I am very happy with the grade I've received, as I personally think that my Department is quite strict in assessing the exams, papers and dissertations. So, I think this is the mark I really deserve of. Again, many thanks for your help with this work!

I hope this finds you well. I need to say that I'm really grateful for your helps and appreciations. That was hopefully my last assignment in the university, however, I wanna keep in touch with you, if OK for you as well, as I'm planning to keep writing paper like article etc. in English. By the way, a number of my friends have started in their master programmes here so, I has given them your contact numbers for proof-reading, based on our previous conversation and hope you have not changed your mind.

Thanks for response, hopefully I'm graduating at the end of this month, but I'd like to continue to write in my home country some articles and reports as well. So, I may need your further help. I added your phone number to my list, I will contact you either by e-mail or whatsapp etc. I thank you millions of time, without your support I could not have managed this uphill task.

I am extremely grateful for your help, which has not only polished my thesis, but also saved me a lot of time! noticed there are comments from clients on your CR proofreading webpage, I'd like to write a comment for your proofreading, telling people how professional, thorough and constructive your proofreading is. Most importantly, you are really good at understanding the author's ideas, so that the corrections are accurate and smooth. It is also an enjoyment reading your comments and corrections.

Thank you so much for your speedy reply with these helpful suggestions. I really appreciated your flexibility and your effort to improve my chapter. After I received your feedback, I've addressed them all and already submitted it to the book editor. Thanks for your careful and detailed proofreading:) As I'm working on my thesis now as a 3rd-year PhD student, I'll definitely get back to you and ask your help later this year when I have my draft thesis ready.
