Where to Find Help for Proofreading Your Dissertation

NO proofreading services are provided on campus (including the libraries). 

The Writing Center at UT is unable to do proofreading for students on theses and dissertations. However, students who are in the process of writing such documents may request that someone edit their work on a fee basis outside of the Writing Center.  

Contact the Writing Center to request a freelance editor for your thesis or dissertation:

Visit the center at HSS 212 during their open hours
Call 865-974-2611
Email  writingcenter@utk.edu

 

Most journal publishers, such as Elsevier, provide fee-based proofreading services on their websites.
