Besides spotting and correcting English errors, our thesis and dissertation editors will "tighten" your writing by reducing wordiness; check for sexist, slang, or first-person language; and properly arrange your reference material. You will be alerted if a direct quote appears without proper citation or if citations in the text have been omitted from your reference section. (Note: we will not write your paper.)
To obtain additional help, when needed
Additional services include content clarification, statistical analysis, restructuring, and assistance with modifications required by your thesis/dissertation advisor or committee.
Reliable and affordable service
It's dangerous to shop by price, and it's dangerous to presume that an online editing service is U.S.-based (many services that advertise "lowest price" are not U.S.-based and their sites are deceptive). We do not accept editing applicants willing to offer a lower fee for subpar work.
Why use our editors?
S. Manness, academic editor, www.editing-writing.com
“I have worked for two editing services on the Internet, and there’s a real difference. Editing-writing.com is a screening service. Here, all freelance editors must pass comprehensive editing exams, and the pass rate among so-called professional editors is very low: 2% At the other service, those who claim to be editors just have to pay a fee to belong. They quoted low prices and offered low-quality results. There’s nothing to stop nonqualified individuals from offering ‘editing services’ through other networks or personal sites, there’s nothing to stop non-U.S. sites from misrepresenting themselves as U.S., and there’s nothing to stop them from fabricating credentials, testimonials, and American-sounding ‘staff’ names. Only the most qualified editors are posted here. You will get a fair price and excellent service.”

LES FOXMAN is a public relations professor. He currently teaches Technology and Ethics, "which examines the impact that technology has upon the foundations of social, legal, cultural, and moral systems as it pertains to education.

Likewise, he helps students work through the systematic procedures for identifying relevant theoretical literature, substantiating the significance of the research problem, describing research variables, and demonstrating how the study advances the academic discipline’s knowledge base. Well versed in the full spectrum of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies common to public relations and mass communications, he also works with students on framing the valid research protocol for their theses and dissertations.
He also teaches and writes about journalism history, popular culture, criticism, integrated marketing communication, public policy issue management, crisis communication, and media message planning and management for organizations.

This has been a total pleasure for both of us.” Peter Desberg, coauthor (with Jeffrey Miller) of Understanding and Engaging Adolescents
"I had the good fortune to link up with Tina Hardy at precisely the time when I was unable to see through my writing and identify those crucial moments when meaning was lost. These are those elusive ideas you understand well, yet they reveal themselves when the manuscript is done and resist your best efforts to bring clarity. Tina’s approach was timely, painstaking and very effective in helping me get close to a goal of effective writing I strive for, which is that clear writing reflects clear thinking. Tina helped me think." - Graeme Sullivan, Teachers College, Columbia University,

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 went above and beyond heavy editing, putting my 70 page, 15,000
word Capstone in APA compliance. Her ability to understand the material and
translate into higher level English is very impressive. The feedback from my
professor was ‘exceptional work’ and he turned it back to me with no corrections.
Her work was PERFECT. I can’t thank her and the editing network enough. Well
done!" - Brian Bowman, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical, Deputy Group Commander,
USAF
"Seriously, you saved my life. English is my second language.
I was desperate looking at all the words I had to put together so that it would
flow nicely using APA style. This was an immense mountain to climb.
I decided to search the web to see if I could find help. I did not know
about your network but I figured I would search for APA Editor and there you
were. I also thought it would be too late since there was only 5 days before
my paper was due. I sent the email anyway out of desperation....and
ding! I got a response right away. I could’t believe it and was
afraid it was a scam. But I had nothing to lose. Nancy took by messy words
and made a wonderful essay with it. She rearranged the headlines, wrapped
it all up in APA, check my reference list to make sure I had quoted everyone.
I received an amazing final product. I now can carry on working full-time
doing a Master knowing that there is someone who can help me at the most difficult
times...editing. My husband also wants to thank you since I was so much
easier to live with once I found you! Ha! Thank you so much!
"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!"

Lynda Lotman has worked with graduate students here at the University of Texas at Arlington for about 25 years. I never had any concern about referring our thesis/dissertation students to her for formatting and English coherency guidance in meeting our admittedly strenuous T&D requirements. Several times a year I also referred faculty members to her (sometimes forwarded to her professional network of freelance editors and advisors) for aid in their research papers. I always have a small cadre of T&D editors but none ever compared to Ms. Lotman in every aspect of formatting and language coherency. She is the best!

Moroney, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
