APA Editing and Writing Help

Why hire a professional APA editor?
Writing a thesis or dissertation is usually difficult, a process that often becomes overpowering because the degree-seeking candidate must prepare a paper according to the format and style specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association--which a college or university frequently modifies or supplements. An experienced APA editor can eliminate hours or days of frustration.

What is APA style?

APA format consists of writing conventions and detailed rules for presenting text, tables, and figures. APA's stylistically finicky rules refer to all aspects of writing and formatting formal papers, including specific requirements for aligning and spacing text, presenting and labeling figures and tables, and citing entries in the reference section.

What is the role of the APA editor and writing consultant?

The APA editor prepares your paper to conform to APA style and to accepted academic standards for grammar, spelling, academic style, and word usage. In addition, the APA editor decreases your paper's wordiness, eliminates sexist language and slang, and ensures that you are using active voice and present or past tense appropriately, according to the 6th edition of the APA manual. Quotations are checked for their inclusion in the reference section. Without the help of an APA expert, the majority of student papers include scores of errors in citing books, periodicals, conference or symposia proceedings, and works from electronic media.

Final thoughts

Don't agonize over what to italicize or how to correctly punctuate sentences. Instead, use your time to research, collect data, and prepare a working draft of your paper, and let your APA editor/academic writing consultant attend to the nitty-gritty details of polishing your paper. Surprise your faculty advisor or committee by submitting a well-crafted APA paper. Don't waste hours trying to find the sentence in the APA manual that explains how to cite references downloaded from the World Wide Web or whether to write "percent" or insert its symbol. Hire an APA editor and avoid the aggravation. Save time and effort; life is too short.
