Dissertation editing & thesis proofreading service
A dissertation is usually the longest, highest-stakes document you'll write in your degree, and it's read by people looking for reasons to send it back. As a dissertation editing service, I work on full dissertations and theses -- chapter by chapter or as a complete manuscript -- for grammar, clarity, consistency, and the specific conventions your committee expects.
What's included
- Sentence-level grammar, syntax, and word-choice correction
- Consistency pass: terminology, tense, heading style, and figure/table numbering across chapters
- Citation and reference formatting (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE)
- Structural notes on repetition, unclear transitions, or unsupported claims -- flagged, not silently rewritten
- A short summary of recurring issues, so you can self-correct in future writing
Who this is for
PhD and Master's candidates preparing for submission or defense, especially in technical fields (computer science, engineering, the sciences) where I can also sanity-check terminology, not just grammar. See the subjects page for the specific disciplines I've worked in most.
