Start with a free sample edit

Every dissertation is different, so every quote is too. Send me your dissertation and I’ll edit a short excerpt for free, then give you a clear written quote and timeline — no surprises, no obligation. Dissertation editing is billed at a transparent hourly rate, scoped to your manuscript before we begin.

One full edit, and you choose how to pay for it. Every dissertation gets the same complete, defense-ready edit; what you decide is the payment plan: one payment, two payments, or monthly payments over up to six months, with no deposit and no fee for choosing a plan. You approve the scope before any billing, hourly work is tracked and totaled as we go, and your quote is a ceiling: you’re invoiced once, at the end, securely through my client portal.
