About the Author
Nancy Rosenbaum is an APA style expert who specializes in proofreading, fact-checking, copyediting, substantive stylistic editing, and formatting. One important component of content editing is accuracy; Nancy double-checks online texts to ensure completeness and accuracy of direct quotations (wording, punctuation) and publication details (title, publisher, date, page), as well as mirroring of parenthetical references to complete entries in the references section. Nancy takes the worry out of formatting by creating and applying styles to headings and subheadings, allowing her to create automated tables of contents that are readily updated if the document’s contents change. She also automatically numbers table and figure captions to generate readily updated lists of figures and lists of tables. Finally, Nancy corrects section/page breaks to ensure page numbering follows APA or university-specific schemes.
Nancy’s foundation in writing and editing is based on a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Mt. Holyoke College and more than 20 years of experience crafting technical and business communications. She has easily transitioned those skills from the commercial arena to work with students and professionals in a wide range of academic disciplines, demonstrating a unique talent for eliminating extraneous text, synthesizing concepts, and exceeding clients’ expectations. Her work includes extensive editing for non-native English writers preparing personal statements, undergraduate class papers, theses, and dissertations (proposal through final). Nancy not only edits but explains the corrections to help her clients improve their language and writing skills.
"Nancy was unbelievable fast in her work. Her knowledge of APA is beyond any other I’ve seen. She is a master of APA and of the English language. I would recommend her to anyone needing editing. I cannot thank her enough!" —Jasey Kolarik, Aurora University
"It has been a pleasure working with Nancy Rosenbaum. Her professionalism is outstanding. She walked me through the every step of the editing process and, was always available. The quality of work was far more superior than I had expected. I intend on using both Nancy and the service again to assist with the final editing of my dissertation project." —Elaine Della Vecchia, Capella University
"I couldn't believe she finished editing when she said she would. The APA style was making me nuts and Nancy really helped and made it a lot less stressful. She eased the worry and my thesis was just approved and I need to print it and bind it. I would recommend her to anybody who needs an editor. Nancy knows APA! When I write my great American Novel, I’ll be contacting her again." —Joanne Richardson
"I had fairly low expectations because it was a 'web business,' but I was very wrong. I couldn’t have dreamt of receiving the thoroughness of editing, knowledge, and follow through that was provided by Nancy. She caught an error in my reference list that I would never have found. I don’t know how she did it! I am so pleased! Keep up the good work!"
