Before you book
- Check your university's rules on outside help with essays and dissertations

- Keep your own drafts and notes, showing the dissertation is your own work

Coaching and feedback are legal. Paying someone to write assessed work breaks university rules, and in England it is a criminal offence to provide or advertise such a service for payment.
Some universities allow limited proofreading of spelling and grammar but not changes to content. Check your university's proofreading policy first.
Writing or rewriting assessed work is never included, and proofreading and software costs are separate.
