The first time you see an artificial intelligence (AI) product like ChatGPT take on an editing task, its suggestions will amaze you. Its editing is impressive. Then the fear sets in.

I am truly grateful that my year can end off with feedback like this.

“Lené Kraft does more than just proofreading a dissertation and sending it back. She really emerges herself in the work. Aside from the usual spelling and grammar checks, she has an eye for detail, picking up on repetitive text, consistency in referencing, and formatting.

I used Lené’s services for my MPhil at GIBS, and she delivered excellent work under a tight deadline, sometimes working up to 14 hours a day. She communicated with me the whole time, asked for clarifications, and never made any significant changes without consulting with me first.

Lené has a vast knowledge of academic writing styles, having worked on many papers before, and it shows in the quality of her work. She is a professional in her field with a solid understanding of the nuances of academic editing.

There are many software programs, Grammarly being one of them, but nothing can compare to Lené’s critical thinking and reasoning style. Anyone that has ever written a paper knows how difficult it is to spot the errors in your own writing, and I will forever be grateful to Lené for her support.”

Punctuation can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Here is an excellent example:

This is why we ought to say:

“I wonder who was at the door!”
“It was I” (not me).

Because:

Q: Who phoned?
A: I phoned. (Not: me phoned)

The comma is used when addressing someone. Use it wisely, my friend.

Your vs you’re. Know the difference? Of course you do!

Feedback like this makes me love my work even more! Thank you, David.

Without any doubt or hesitation, I would like to indicate that I have been impressed by the level of expertise and competence that Lene has displayed when editing the Thesis for my Doctorate (D MSc). What impressed me the most is the fact that she excels in paying attention to all details, which makes her the best Editor that I have come across. Hence, I would with all honesty not hesitate to recommend her to any person doing either a Master’s or Doctor’s Degree. The way Lene has edited my Thesis is characterized by absolute professionalism and the highest quality of dedication. Words are not enough to describe how happy I am with the excellent work she has done for me. Lene is really a star in what she is doing.

Confusing the two is an easy error to make. I often spot this one in academic writing.

I still try to limit sentences to 25 or 30 words maximum. But, when it comes to creative writing, get outta that darn box!
