Turnaround is currently 3-5 business days.
The vast majority of Walden dissertations fail to conform fully to the required citation style. 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. We are here to manage that process and to help secure committee approval for you.
*Your dissertation editing, proofreading, and formatting will be approved by both your committee and school.What's involved in proofreading and editing
We examine your dissertation to remove errors in spelling, agreement, and punctuation. Mistakes in grammar can come across as errors in logic since they certainly confuse the reader, making it appear that the premises of your dissertation are disconnected or flawed. Dissertation proofreading focuses on catching the errors such as sentence fragments, subject-verb agreement, pronoun referents, run-ons, ineffective or inappropriate verb forms, and other grammatical errors, especially the ones Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar check routinely ignores. See a full editing, proofreading, and formatting list.
Our dissertation editing service focuses on these components in the editing process:
Personal service from your dissertation editor
When using our professional dissertation services, your work is always corrected by academic editors with over a decade of experience working with students and with knowledge of writing and publishing academic journal articles and other work. Your insight and opinions are integral to the success of your work. Please include all of your instructions and concerns when submitting your work.
Meeting the needs of students
Our dissertation editing service is for students who need added organization, clarity, and style to their writing or who need their language raised to academic standards. Additionally, it is a perfect service for those students who may be non-native speakers who need help that goes beyond just proofreading. Dissertation editing at this point in the process greatly assists your advisor and committee by presenting your research in a more organized, highly readable style. Something many students do not think about, dissertation editing also greatly facilitates the shift from your dissertation defense to the launch of your career.
Whether you are completely self-assured about your writing or hesitant of your ability to share your thoughts, you can benefit from editing.
Our dissertation editing service will correct your document's, flow, continuity, and word choice as well as making sure you are properly supporting your thoughts and positions. In addition, we make sure that the meaning in your writing is clear and easy for readers to understand. We want you to be successful and we do our best to make sure your writing represents your ideas in your dissertation in the best way possible.

By making sure that all of our dissertation editors have more than a decade of experience writing and editing, we get your work done quickly and efficiently. Our dissertation editors are all published authors who are committed to helping you. We have advanced degrees and experience in a variety of scientific areas. Remember, beyond just proofreading and editing, our dissertation editors are here to answer your questions and give you suggestions.
Why we proof and edit
Some students find it difficult to control being too verbose. Some are not quite sure what to include and what to leave out. Often, writers are so engaged in their own work that they fill pages with a great deal of information but fail to organize their work properly or express themselves with the best word choice. We specialize in beautifying language, and transforming drafts into the dissertation you want.
We offer our dissertation APA style formatting as an add-on service when you order dissertation editing and proofreading. We prepare your doctoral dissertation according to the latest version of your style guide. We can also accommodate your university-specific guidelines. Combined with proofreading and editing, with our APA style formatting service, you have a fully paginated version of your dissertation with preliminary pages, headings, citations, and references in proper form and arrangement. Additionally, we create a citation to reference verification file for you to note when citations are not in the reference section and references are not in the body of the dissertation as in-text citations.

If you send your doctoral dissertation in Microsoft Word format, we can return two copies to you when finished. One is the original with changes highlighted. The other is the final version.
All of our doctoral dissertation editors have doctoral degrees and years of training as teachers, published authors, and professionals in various disciplines. We provide the right editor for your needs. We default to American English, APA publication style, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. We’re happy to use other styles and conventions. However, any deviations from these rules must be noted by the author beforehand to avoid re-editing.
No. The editing function has been a long-time feature and the files we send you are for a PC or Mac.
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 (e.g., Microsoft Word, Works, AppleWorks, Pages, Rich Text, and Open Office).

MS Word has a feature that you can use to obtain a word count. Alternatively, send it to us. We will calculate the amount and send you an email with a link to your invoice and payment options. If you want to calculate it yourself, multiply the number of words in your doctoral dissertation times 0.013 for proofreading and editing or times 0.019 for proofreading, editing, and formatting.
