Get Professional Dissertation Editing

Give yourself the gift of a dissertation editor. You have done all the heavy lifting – now, let me take care of the final technical details. I will correct all spelling, grammar, punctuation, and/or typographical errors, and get it to a final, polished version.  What's more, I can handle the time-consuming and frustrating task of formatting your citations and references.  My expertise is in APA formatting but I am also experienced in other formatting styles.

What can you expect from my dissertation services? 

• A custom edit completed by me – I do NOT outsource this to third parties or other editors.  This translates to immaculate quality control and one-to-one personal attention from an editor that will treat your work as their own
• A thoroughly edited document that addresses technical edits and content edits (if you request them):​​​

1. Technical editing includes items such as: correcting technical errors such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage
2. Content editing (optional) includes items such as: eliminating wordiness, triteness, and inappropriate jargon; smoothing transitions and moving sentences to improve readability; suggesting and sometimes implementing additions and deletions; and enforcing consistent style and tone

• Changes and suggestions to help improve clarity, flow, structure, and readability
• Formatting of your citations and references to the style guide of your choice, if desired
• Tracked revisions so that you can see and review all the changes that have been made
• A short summary of the work that has been completed and any major concerns
• ​An optional 15- minute 1:1 pre-consultation to discuss any concerns or information that would be helpful in the editing process

What types of documents do you edit?

• Dissertation Proposals
• Dissertations
• Theses​

Will our work remain confidential?

Rest assured, whether you're working on commercially sensitive data or conducting a groundbreaking scholarly analysis, your manuscript as well as our working relationship, will remain confidential.

I am not ready for a final edit.  In fact, I’m barely getting started or in the thick of the writing process.  Can you help me?

Yes!  This is what I refer to as developmental editing ​and it is much more comprehensive and multifaceted than dissertation editing. If you're writing your thesis or dissertation, you're likely working on the most important project of your life. However, the reality of academic life is that your adviser won't always be available or helpful; they may be too overburdened by their own projects to give you the feedback and support you need. Substantial feedback is critical in the early writing stages.  Without it, you can feel lost. If you need this kind of heavy lift, check out my developmental editing page.
