I need someone to check over my Masters dissertation (20000) words - not for grammar or formatting, but for structure, argument clarity, flow etc. My supervisor has been zero help and it is because of his lack of supervision that when I submitted my dissertation the first time round, I got a revise & resubmit result after all my hard work. Needless to say, I want too make really sure I have got it right this time. What does everyone else do about their dissertations? Do you just get your supervisor to proof-read everything loads of times? What if your supervisor is useless? I would be willing to pay for someone to give my work a review - has anyone else paid for such a service? I don't need anyone to write my content - just to sanity check what I have already done (on the content said rather than grammar etc). A google search hasn't brought forth much on this front...

Could you ask someone in your research group to read it? Or someone else in your department? That's what we normally do in my group.
