*Your dissertation editing, proofreading and formatting will be approved by both your committee and school.If not, we'll refund the full amount paid, no questions asked. We're happy to say, in 11 years, we have never had to pay a refund. The vast majority of dissertations fail to conform fully to the required citation style. What does that mean for me? This is one of the main reasons for rewrite after rewrite, leading to lost time, considerable cost, delays in the job search or even failing to graduate.

How do I know what has changed in my dissertation?
If you send your dissertation in Microsoft Word format, we will return two copies to you when the proofreading and editing are complete. One is the original with changes highlighted. The other is the final version of your dissertation. Do I need the latest version of Microsoft Word; do I have to use a PC?
No, the editing function has been a long-time feature of Word and the files we send to you are for a PC or Mac.
Do you accept formats other than Microsoft Word?
We much prefer Microsoft Word because of its Track Changes feature. However, if you check with us first, we support digital texts in a range of formats including: Microsoft Word, Works, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Adobe InDesign, PDF, AppleWorks, Pages, Rich Text, Open Office, ASCII, and others.

In keeping with our strict confidentiality, we never release information or the titles we have edited without prior consent. For further information, view our Privacy Policy. Why use a Ph.D.? Can't someone with a Master's edit or proof my dissertation?
Earning a Ph.D. requires years of concentrated and meticulous effort. Becoming a professional scholar, theorist and writer involves doctoral coursework in which the candidate must continually research, write and present studies of academic article length and quality assessed by professors who are experts in their field. The doctoral candidate then undertakes a two-day-long process called a comprehensive examination, which consists of writing broadly in a number of disciplinary areas. A committee of experts on each subject critiques the exams regarding the substantiveness and quality of content, construction, organization and prose. Only those Ph.D. candidates who pass this stage are allowed to design, write and publish a book-length primary research study called a dissertation. Again, a committee of Ph.D.s with specific expertise in the named areas evaluates the candidate's writing. To confer the doctoral degree, they require flawlessness and excellence. This arduous process prepares us to be true editors and writers, while a Master's degree—which each of us have as well—simply does not.
| What about payment security?
We make use of the most powerful and updated security measures including the industry standard in encryption (128-bit Secure Socket Layer). This is the highest level of security commercially available and is the same standard of security used in cash machines (ATMs) and by many retail stores.

The entire payment process is conducted through one of their secure websites. No banking information or credit card data is ever collected or stored by us. What about copyright?
