Dissertation Editing

Over my career, I’ve edited hundreds of dissertations, theses, and academic essays. I help students use precise language and impeccable grammar as the foundation for building strong paragraphs. My specialties include nursing (DNP), education (EdD), and working with writers who speak English as a second language. I provide stellar formatting services for references, tables, and figures using AMA, APA, Chicago, and MLA styles.
