I will edit and proofread your dissertation or thesis

I'm a historian with a PhD. I finished my own dissertation in August 2026: 360 pages, 746 footnotes. My chair returned it with over 1,000 tracked changes and 448 comments. I worked through every one and defended successfully.

I know what a committee looks for, because mine just did it to me.

WHAT YOU GET

Tracked changes in Word plus a comment log explaining every substantive suggestion. Accept it, reject it, or argue with me. It's your manuscript and your voice.

WHAT I EDIT

Structure and argument, clarity and sentence-level voice, citations in Chicago, Turabian, APA and MLA, footnote and bibliography integrity, and formatting to your university's manual.

SUBJECT STRENGTHS

History, constitutional and military history, political science, education, psychology. I also hold a Master of Education, so I know rubrics and committee expectations from both sides.

HOW I WORK

If I can't verify a citation against its source, I flag it rather than let it stand. I did that to my own manuscript. Your committee will check, so better that I find it first.

I edit work you have written. I do not write papers for submission.
