We Offer a Wide-Range of Editing Services
Proofreading
With our proofreading service, our professional editors will correct typos, spelling mistakes, and objective grammatical errors ($0.02/word–$0.03/word).
This service is ideal for projects that have already been edited and need one final review to ensure 100% accuracy. Proofreading is frequently combined with our formatting services for the final presentation of a completed thesis.
Copy editing
With our copy editing service, our professional editors will correct typos, spelling mistakes, and objective errors, as well as “stylistic” or “rhetorical” errors in academic style, voice, clarity, diction, and sentence-level flow ($0.03/word–$0.04/word).
This service does not include a critical review of the document and constructive feedback that our line editing service offers. This service is ideal for individuals who have well-written papers that require minimal changes.
Line editing
With line editing, our professional editors will correct for all typos, spelling mistakes, and all objective errors, as well as “stylistic” or “rhetorical” errors in academic style, voice, clarity, diction, and sentence-level flow. They will also critically review your document and provide constructive feedback on argumentation and the structure/organization of your work. While our copy editing service focuses on your work at the sentence level, our line editing service takes into account larger structural issues at the paragraph, section, and chapter levels ($0.04/word–$0.055/word).
Line editing, our most commonly requested editorial service, takes full advantage of the doctoral-level expertise all of our editors have to offer. Our editors are equipped to assist scholars and academics with a variety of projects in need of developmental feedback, including early-stage doctoral proposals, dissertation chapters, or an article in development for publication.
Heavy developmental editing
With heavy developmental editing, our professional editors will correct for all typos, spelling mistakes, and all objective errors, as well as “stylistic” or “rhetorical” errors in academic style, voice, clarity, diction, and sentence-level flow. They will also critically review your document and provide constructive feedback on argumentation and the structure/organization of your work. Our heavy developmental editing services is designed for those who either really struggle with writing and/or those who have lots of feedback from reviewers, committee members, or supervisors that they need help addressing fast ($0.055/word–$0.07/word).
We use this service to take a deep dive into your writing!
Samples of each of our editing services
From initial consultation to completion of my dissertation, the team members at Dissertation Editor exceeded my expectations in every regard. Their expertise, professionalism, compassion, and commitment to helping me succeed were exemplary. They helped me refine my dissertation to the highest level of excellence possible. The amount of time they saved me was also incalculable, due in no small part to their always on-point guidance and ability to provide statistical and dissertation editing on an expedited basis. Looking back, engaging Dissertation Editor was one of the smartest decisions I made during my Ph.D. candidacy, and I will be grateful forever that I discovered them when I did.
