Hello! I am an experienced dissertation editor and APA 7 expert. I have extensive experience with qualitative dissertations, and I can help you ensure your paper is sound from beginning to end. Additionally, I am a general academic editor who can help you with academic papers, annotated bibliographies, journal articles for publication, theses, capstone projects, organizational reports, and more. I have an excellent command of the English language and Standard American English grammar rules. I focus on clarity, concision, and cohesion, and I prioritize maintaining the author's voice. I work as a contracted Dissertation Editor for the American College of Education and have gained a nuanced and in-depth understanding of the requirements of a traditional 5-chapter dissertation through this role. I am also familiar with non-traditional dissertations (such as auto-ethnographies with poetic interludes) and am confident in my abilities to provide excellent editing services regardless of the dissertation format. Regarding APA, I can create and edit tables of contents and lists of tables and figures and correct all formatting to be in APA 7 (i.e., headings, pagination, spacing, tables and figures, margins, block quotes, first vs. third person, etc.). I can correct all in-text and reference page citations and conduct a reference audit to ensure each in-text citation has a corresponding reference and vice versa. I ensure hyperlinks in fact work and DOIs are accurate for the reference page, and I seek and find each source to ensure all information listed in the reference entry is accurate. You won't regret booking my dissertation editing or general editing services! My work is high quality, thorough, and I care deeply about the success of my clients.
