Academic Editing and Assistance with Writing

Want better grades?

Want to know your project is in good shape?

Want your hard work to shine?

Projects fare better in the academic world when they have been edited and proofread. A survey of your instructors or mentors will tell you how much they appreciate your extra efforts. In fact, they'll reward you for it!

Want that doctoral dissertation to sail through?

Here's what one client has to say:

"With Patricia's competent and thorough editing, I had no worries about presenting and defending my dissertation to the University deans and graduate committee -- no worries that they would be distracted from the quality of my research by poor grammar or spelling. 

Patricia transformed my manuscript into a professional level product. My dissertation numbered 175 pages, 39 tables, 2 figures, and nearly 200 references. You can trust a major technical or literary piece of work to this editor and expect a level of quality unequaled by major publishing houses."   

    -- Joan Mortensen., MFT, Ph.D.

I bring experience and great success to academic projects, including:

  • term papers

  • essays

  • dissertations

  • reports

  • capstones

A paper that includes mistakes or misspellings, grammatical errors or confusing structure makes you sound less knowledgeable than you might otherwise be. In some cases, these problems can even cost you credit or a better grade. If you're lucky, you'll be given the chance to revise and resubmit. But why not do it right the first time?

That's where I come in. What's it worth to you to avoid the worry, the revisions, and the lower grades? Would you (or whomever is paying for your education) be willing to invest in a better outcome?

It doesn't have to cost much, and I am happy to quote on a per-project basis, with no obligation.

As with all of my editing projects, I offer one or more of the following:

  • copyediting (grammar and spelling)

  • proofreading

  • assisting you with your writing or structure

  • revising to match a particular style

I can work long distance with you, too! I'd be happy to accommodate you by using the "track changes" feature in MS Word, or by using other solutions. We can do everything on line.

If you're local to the Monterey Bay area, I can meet with you in person and would be happy to edit the hard copy of your project. It's up to you!

It may not cost as much as you think (especially with a student discount). Please call me at 831.659.1137 for an estimate. I am also happy to answer questions.

Student discounts available.

 

 


My goal is to put exactly the right words to work for you. I will take on your writing and editing projects -- from the smallest to the largest -- and provide results that put you in your very best light.
