My Specialty

Dissertations & Theses

Comprehensive editing for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral work across every discipline. I refine structure, clarity, citations, and argument while preserving your scholarly voice. With a Doctorate of Education and years as a Virtual Writing Consultant, this is the work I know best.

What I Do

  • Line editing for clarity, grammar & flow
  • In-text citations & attribution
  • APA, MLA & Chicago formatting
  • Table of contents & list of figures
  • Bibliography & reference lists

What I Don't Do

  • Overall page layout & design
  • Image placement
  • Line editing for rush jobs with committee deadlines only weeks away

If your committee deadline is just weeks away, I'm not the right fit. I do thorough work and protect my process so your dissertation gets the full attention it deserves, and so I don't stress myself out. For overall document design, I recommend your institution's formatting guide or a design specialist.
