I offer discounted prices for full-time college students and professionals who are pursuing their post-graduate degrees (Master's, Doctorate, Ph.D.). Let me help you perfect your papers, theses, or dissertations. I am uniquely experienced in copyediting and proofreading academic research-related papers. By utilizing embedded comments, I can point out possible textual inconsistencies, awkward sentence structure, illogical flow of information, and point out other writing mechanics that you can use to improve the impact of your paper. To insure that your paper can be proofread and returned to you prior to the final due date for delivering it to your committee, please make arrangements early in the writing stage. This will allow me to set aside sufficient time for work on your paper. By using my services throughout the writing process it will not only make the final proofreading stage flow more timely, but will also help you to improve your writing skills! ***At present, and due to time constraints imposed by commitments to my standing clients, I cannot take your paper if it is completely written and within weeks of being due to your committee.***

I will copyedit/proofread any graduate or post-graduate paper for the discounted rate of $24.00/hour. If your work is already in process, I will need a 10-page sample (preferably not the abstract and introduction as these two sections are generally rewritten a number of times prior to beginning the actual paper), in order to judge the topic and language rigor. This helps me to establish how much time may be required to work with you on each chapter.

I require a $100 deposit prior to beginning work (which I deduct in full from my first interim invoice), the name of the school or university that you are attending, a reference (usually your dissertation chair), and the degree you are pursuing if post-graduate in order to charge you at the discounted rate.

Please visit the other pages on this site for more information about my other services and qualifications, and a personal bio.

Thank you for visiting my web page! I look forward to working with you .
