Why Do You Need an Experienced Dissertation Editor?
Writing a dissertation is a complex undertaking with a whole lot of moving parts involved. You have to organize your research, address the existing literature, and make a unique contribution to your field of study. You also need to do those things while paying careful attention to content, tone, style, level of detail, grammar, punctuation, proper formatting, and organization.
An experienced dissertation editor can help make your writing sharper, ensure that your ideas and arguments flow smoothly from beginning to end, and help you properly format your bibliography in accordance with APA, Chicago, MLA, or any other style your field requires. My dissertation editing and formatting services will ensure that you produce a quality dissertation that absolutely wows your thesis committee and leads to your PhD graduation.
Expert Developmental Editing
Your Personal Dissertation Editor
What goes into writing a great dissertation that will impress your dissertation committee and secure a successful PhD defense? To be honest, there are a LOT of things, but a good general rule is that a successful dissertation covers the Three Cs: Clarity, Content, and Cohesiveness.
A well-written dissertation should express your ideas with Clarity. It should also provide the necessary Content (including reviews of existing literature and a clear explanation of how your research contributes to the field). Finally, your dissertation should be Cohesive from beginning to end, with each chapter and section building on and complementing the others.
My developmental editing service is a practical and efficient process that will help build your dissertation from the ground up to ensure each section meets the standards and requirements set by your advisor, your department, and your thesis committee. As your personal dissertation editor, I’ll work with you to make sure your dissertation covers the Three Cs and everything in between. My goal is to take you smoothly from ABD to PhD.
Positive Dissertation Feedback
How I Provide Dissertation Editing Help
Developmental Editing
What is developmental editing? Basically, it’s a process by which an editor works on a manuscript while the author is producing it. In other words, a developmental editor will help you develop your dissertation manuscript in real time to help you structure and restructure your thesis so that it meets the requirements set by your advisor, your dissertation committee, and your academic department. My goal is to spare you the painstaking process of revising multiple times by helping you craft a presentable, finished dissertation manuscript.
Professional Dissertation Proofreading
As your dissertation editor, I’ll work with you to provide dissertation guidance as you write and revise your thesis. I’ll review your work to make sure you cover all the basics that characterize the best dissertation writing, including grammar and punctuation, tone, style, clarity of content, level of detail, and whether you’ve integrated your thesis statement throughout the manuscript.
Your Personal Dissertation Checking Service
We’ll meet face-to-face to create a reasonable and achievable timetable for you to write and submit dissertation chapters for me to review. Once we develop a schedule, I’ll edit your writing to help you form your ideas fully and explain them with rigor and clear prose. As your editor, I’ll also work to iron out any confusing, clunky, or jarring passages, advise when to cut and when to write more, and help you incorporate dissertation feedback from your advisor and your committee.
Positive Dissertation Encouragement
I build my developmental editing around positive feedback. Let’s face it: writing a dissertation is psychologically hard enough without the stress of constant negative criticism. I believe in positive incentives over negative reinforcement. I’ll always praise you when you’re on the right track, and I’ll frame my comments and suggestions around constructive and encouraging critical feedback. My only goal is to ensure that you write the best dissertation possible—and graduate with a healthy state of mind.
Precise Dissertation Formatting
Beyond the writing process, some of the most painstaking aspects of graduate school involves the dissertation format. I’ll be there to spare you this agony. Whether you’re following APA, Chicago, MLA, or other style formats, I’ll make sure your citation style and bibliography adheres to your particular format guide. I’ll also review any tables, graphs, figures, and sections to guarantee that they’re correctly formatted and clearly legible. Through every step of the dissertation revision process, I’ll be there to work closely by your side so you’ll never feel overwhelmed.
