Dissertation Editing
Clarity. Accuracy. Standards.
Since 2008, I have edited dissertations across disciplines, with a focus on clear
ideas, appropriate academic tone, and strict adherence to institutional and
publication standards.
What This Service Covers
I edit dissertations for clarity, coherence, and completeness. I assess whether arguments hold across chapters, whether explanations provide the required depth, and whether readers can follow the logic without confusion or ambiguity.
I focus on how the dissertation reads to committees and examiners who evaluate rigor, structure, and academic judgment.
How I Work
I read dissertations with attention to structure, logic, and development across the full document. I identify gaps in reasoning, unclear claims, missing context, and inconsistencies between chapters.
I edit with committee expectations in mind, shaping the writing so ideas come through clearly under formal academic review.
Style Guides and Requirements
I follow the style guide and formatting requirements that apply to your dissertation. This includes citations, references, headings, tables, figures, and institutional formatting rules.
I work most often with APA and also follow university-specific dissertation guidelines and departmental requirements.
- APA
- Chicago
- MLA
- Turabian
- Institutional or program-specific guidelines

Who You’ll Be Working With
Since 2008, I have edited dissertations across disciplines and degree levels. I bring judgment shaped by long experience reviewing dissertations that must meet institutional and committee standards.
Before founding my editing practice, I served as an English-language editor at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, editing academic and technical documents for international audiences.
