Turnaround is currently 3-4 business days.
The vast majority of dissertations fail to conform fully to the required citation style. This is one of the main reasons for rewrite after rewrite, leading to lost time, considerable cost, delays in the job search or even failing to graduate. I am here to manage that process and to help secure committee approval for you.
*Your dissertation editing, proofreading, and formatting will be approved by both your committee and school.What's involved in proofreading and editing
I examine your dissertation to remove errors in spelling, agreement, and punctuation. Mistakes in grammar can come across as errors in logic since they certainly confuse the reader, making it appear that the premises of your dissertation are disconnected or flawed. Dissertation proofreading focuses on catching the errors such as sentence fragments, subject-verb agreement, pronoun referents, run-ons, ineffective or inappropriate verb forms, and other grammatical errors, especially the ones Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar check routinely ignores. See a full editing, proofreading, and formatting list.
My dissertation editing service focuses on these components in the editing process:

Dissertation editing at this point in the process greatly assists your advisor and committee by presenting your research in a more organized, highly readable style.

Why I proof and edit
Some students find it difficult to control being too verbose. Some are not quite sure what to include and what to leave out. Often, writers are so engaged in their own work that they fill pages with a great deal of information but fail to organize their work properly or express themselves with the best word choice. I specialize in beautifying language, and transforming drafts into the dissertation you want.
I offer dissertation APA style formatting as an add-on service when you order dissertation editing and proofreading. I prepare your doctoral dissertation according to the latest version of the APA style guide. I also accommodate your WU guidelines. Combined with proofreading and editing, with APA style formatting service, you have a fully paginated version of your dissertation with preliminary pages, headings, citations, and references in proper form and arrangement. Additionally, I create a citation to reference verification file for you to note when citations are not in the reference section and references are not in the body of the dissertation as in-text citations.

Doctoral dissertation formatting
Specific to your school and APA.
If you send your doctoral dissertation in Microsoft Word format, I can return two copies to you when finished if you ask. One is the original with changes highlighted. The other is the final version.
I have a doctoral degree and years of academic training. I default to American English, APA publication style, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I'm happy to use other styles and conventions. However, any deviations from these rules must be noted by the author beforehand to avoid re-editing.
No. The editing function has been a long-time feature and the files I send you are for a PC or Mac.
I much prefer Microsoft Word because of its Track Changes feature. However, if you check with me first, I support digital texts in a range of formats (e.g., Microsoft Word, Works, AppleWorks, Pages, Rich Text, and Open Office).
I ensure that your doctoral dissertation editing complies with your style requirements. Specify whether you are using APA, MLA, Chicago, CSE, either of the Canadian styles, Harvard, Turabian, International English, ASA, Australian, Vancouver, Oxford Style, or another citation style of your choosing.
I can usually respond within two to three hours during the day. I complete most dissertations within a few business days. I will accept yours only if I can have the finished doctoral dissertation editing back to you before your deadline.
Proofreading, editing, and APA-WU formatting are just under 2 cents per word; the exact price can be determined using the cost calculator.
I currently accept PayPal, Zelle, SquareUp, Venmo, bank cards, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Debit, and Maestro. The method of payment is a secure system with industry standard 128-bit encryption. This is the premier form of encryption available for internet transactions and is the same level of security used in cash machines (ATMs) and most retail stores. Please note: An account is not required to process your credit card and I never see your personal data.
The proofreading and editing rate is based on word count and your choice between proofreading and editing or formatting too. Unlike some other doctoral dissertation editors, I do not have confusing editing rates per page or vague quotes. I provide exact figures for editing services. Send me your file and specify editing and proofreading and whether you want formatting too.
MS Word has a feature that you can use to obtain a word count. Alternatively, send it to me. I will calculate the amount and send you an email with a link to your invoice and payment options. If you want to calculate the cost yourself, multiply the number of words in your doctoral dissertation times 0.013 for proofreading and editing or times 0.019 for proofreading, editing, and formatting. For instance: 30,000 x 0.013 = $390 [USD].
My smallest charge is $50 [USD]. If you have a project with a shorter word count than the minimum, I may be able to work on it for you, but the charge would be $50 USD.
I reword individual sentences. I may rearrange sentences. I may offer suggestions to improve the organization of paragraphs and sections within your doctoral dissertation. Complete rewriting would constitute plagiarism and is not an option.
I consider the issues surrounding intellectual copyright and confidentiality to be crucial. Only I have access to your doctoral dissertation. Under no circumstances do I share your doctoral dissertation editing with anyone. If you require a separate non-disclosure agreement, contact me. Unless you request otherwise, all doctoral dissertation editing and related files are deleted after sixty days. I do not sell, trade, transfer, rent or share ANY information with ANY other party. All doctoral dissertation editing that I review remains the intellectual property of you, the original author. In keeping with my strict confidentiality, I never release names or titles without prior consent. For further information, view the privacy policy.
I make use of the most powerful and updated security measures including the industry standard in encryption (128-bit secure socket layer). This is the highest level of security commercially available and is the same standard of security used in cash machines (ATMs) and by many retail stores. To protect your credit card information, I have partnered with Venmo, PayPal, and SquareUp to offer you the most trusted financial transaction systems on the internet. The entire payment process is conducted through one of their secure websites. No banking information or credit card data is ever collected or stored by me.
You always maintain ownership and copyright. I make no claim on your copyright, and I do not require credit or acknowledgment beyond the fees for the services rendered. It is a commonly accepted practice for some writers to credit us as their editor and this is always appreciated.

Even the best writers benefit from an impartial, professional and thorough look at their doctoral dissertation. I recognize things in your doctoral dissertation that become unnoticeable to you. After you have done several drafts, reviewing and revising, that familiarity with the doctoral dissertation results in you mentally filling in missing text and skipping over errors when you read.
Your doctoral dissertation will be print-ready subject to the state of the project when submitted to me and subject to individual specifications from your school.
No. I edit all sorts of styles, dialects, special kinds of formatting and other types of creativity. If there is something you do not want me to edit, mention this when you email the doctoral dissertation.
Certainly you may explain things to me.
Any feedback you receive from me is for the purpose of improving your work. Quoting your editor is not done in a doctoral dissertation.
My editing and proofreading service most closely resembles what is often called copyediting with many additional checks and benefits. What I do would not be considered developmental editing or content editing.
