At master's level, examiners expect more than a sound structure: a critical position on the literature, a defensible method and conclusions you can stand behind. Esmond shows where your draft falls short of that, passage by passage.
See how Esmond worksA taught master's dissertation often comes after a period of taught modules, depending on your programme, and has to show that you can design and carry out a focused piece of research. A research master's runs longer and is judged more on its contribution. Choose the right year in the intake so the review reads your work against the right expectations.
Common weak spots at this level are a theoretical framework that is introduced in chapter two and never used again, a method chosen because it was familiar rather than because it fits the question, and a discussion that lists findings without saying what they change. The review marks each of these at the passage where it shows, with a direction for revising it.
Some taught master's students write while working, or with less frequent supervision near the end. A full review of the draft gives you a prioritised list of what to fix first, so the weeks you have go to the issues that matter most for your argument.
You upload your draft as a PDF. Short documents come back within minutes; a full dissertation takes longer. You get two things back: your own document with comments in the margin, and a separate feedback report that sets out what to tackle first. Every upload starts with a free preview, and the price follows the length of your document and is shown before you pay. No subscription, no account.
Esmond evaluates your work and writes nothing for you. Each comment points to a passage, explains what a supervisor or examiner might question, and gives a direction for revising it. You decide what to change, and every sentence stays yours.
Esmond is preparing its launch in Ireland and is not taking orders here yet. This page explains what the review does, so you know what to expect when it opens.
Every full review includes questions an examiner or supervisor might put to you about your work. They are not a prediction of your result. They help you see your dissertation from the reader's side.
Esmond reads your text through the lens of your discipline. It does not know your module, your marking criteria or your supervisor's preferences, and it is not built on Irish dissertations. Treat the feedback as a well-read second reader, and your supervisor and module handbook as the final word.
Yes. A single chapter is read on its own and priced by its length, like any other document.
Yes. Choose 'Master's dissertation' and your year as 'Master's (research)' in the intake.
