New: Frequently Asked Questions

I have just finished adding the new Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ] page that I have been collating over the past few months. Throughout the year we are often asked questions by students and in general they are the same questions over and over again. Hopefully the FAQ will answer a lot of the more common questions before students have to ask them and hence speed up the decision process.

If you were ever curious whether we write essays for students, whether our term paper editing service is free or if we have an affiliates program so you can make money selling our services, then check out the FAQ

More news on the Library

We have managed to get permission to publish three articles in the BetterEdit library. They include two thesis writing guides and one undergraduate English essay guide. We have begun to code them into our library and hopefully by December we will have things ready to go. I am quite impressed with these articles as they have been written with care by university professors that have worked with many students closely, so they understand the issues students face when writing academic papers. I expect you will also find them of value so please check back over the coming weeks. I’ll post a notice in the blog when the articles go live.

Chelsea Allen is also hard at work putting together an in-house how to write an essay guide which will be one of the feature pieces for the library. It’s aimed at simplifying the writing process for any student new to essay writing. It will provide a basic outline to follow and should get you on the right track if you are struggling.

In other news, Edward Chalmers takes over administration of BetterEdit on a trial period this week. I will be supervising him while I am still here to make sure things run smoothly in the lead up to my departure next week. Ed will then manage things on his own for about two weeks at which point I should have settled down in Toronto and will have reliable Internet access so I can resume my administration duties.

Current developments: the BetterEdit.com Library

We have been negotiating with a few Internet authors (university professors from the UK and North America) to allow us to publish their articles in the BetterEdit library. The library is intended to be a free resource for our students. We are presently collecting and writing articles aimed at helping students prepare assignments. We will offer a comprehensive “how to write an essay” guide as well as a “how to prepare a thesis” guide. These two guides will form the foundations for our library.

Chelsea Allen, one of our editors, is working on a few special articles including an insider’s guide to what professors look for in an essay and hints and tips resource for using the Internet for research purposes. We hope to add more and more specialty articles like these over the months as we develop the library.

Once the library is established I expect many students will come to rely on it. We have no intentions of every charging for our library and anticipate it will remain free for many years to come.

Welcome to the BetterEdit Blog

This is the first entry into the BetterEdit Blog. The purpose of this blog is to record the growth and changes to BetterEdit, an editing and proofreading business located on the Internet at www.BetterEdit.com.

My name is Yaro J Starak and I am the founder of the business. I started BetterEdit with family members serving as editors while I created the website. That was way back in 2000 when I was studying a business degree at the University of Queensland in Australia. Since then I have graduated and taken on the business full time. We have hired several professional editors and continued to show strong growth each year.

I am very proud to see BetterEdit expand over the years and I especially enjoy receiving feedback from our student clients when they get a great grade on an assignment we helped them with. We have many exciting plans for the business in the near future and I hope we can continue to grow and help more people.

Stay tuned to this blog for more info!

Signing off,

Yaro
