Dissertation and Thesis Editing
Take your dissertation or thesis to the next level.
We all need help sometimes, especially when it comes to academic writing. No matter their background—whether returning to school to get a higher degree or continuing into graduate school straight out of college—many of our clients find that they don’t possess the necessary graduate-level writing skills that their programs require of them. We understand perfectly: you’ve spent years acquiring the specialized knowledge needed to excel in your field or industry, and learning how to write in a scholarly or technical manner wasn’t your priority. Although it may come as a surprise, you don’t have to be an excellent writer to successfully complete a dissertation or thesis. That’s where EditingWorm comes in!
We understand that you’ve spent years acquiring discipline-specific knowledge, and learning academic writing wasn’t your priority.
EditingWorm’s PhD-level editors have not only worked with countless master’s and doctoral students to help them polish their theses and dissertations in preparation for defense and final submission, but we have gone through this agonizingly demanding process ourselves. In both cases, we’ve had extremely positive results.
As experts in academic writing with decades of combined experience, our versatile editors and consultants are available to step in at any stage in your writing process to ease your stress and put you on the fast track to degree completion.
Whether you’re in need of editing, formatting, or consulting services, we’re here to support and guide you every step of the way. With respected scholars from a wide range of disciplines on staff, we provide professionalism and insight during this challenging time in your academic career. That’s why using our dissertation/thesis services will result in a final product that will earn you the accolades and title for which you have worked so hard!
Common scenarios we’ve encountered in our work with graduate students:
Individuals
who have a promising research design but are stalled at the literature review process, completely overwhelmed by the in-depth research it requires.
Individuals
who are pursuing their PhD while working full-time with the goal of advancing their career, but have no time for the revisions and rewrites that are demanded of them.
Dedicated students
whose progress has been hindered by a particularly difficult or demanding dissertation chair, advisor, or committee member—often going through dozens of chapter drafts with no end in sight.
Doctoral students
who have been forced to switch chairs or advisors against their will—often multiple times—and have seen their study come to a standstill as a result.
Frustrated individuals
who are receiving conflicting feedback or directions from different professors or committee members.
Frantic doctoral candidates
who are racing to finish their dissertation, edit, and format it in time to meet a hard deadline for degree completion.

Formatting services to ensure that your dissertation/thesis layout follows not only your chosen style guide (APA, Chicago, Harvard, Turabian, MLA, Oxford, etc.), but university-specific guidelines as well. All of our editors are experts in APA 6th edition!
Consulting services designed to provide additional support and guidance to graduate students throughout their academic careers.
Our editing services help speed up the time to degree completion by 1-2 semesters on average, which will save you tons on tuition!

Whether you require a light edit or deeper revisions, our experienced editors will work with you to develop a final product that satisfies the high standards of both you and your committee.
As a tight-knit, family-owned business, all of our editors and consultants are committed to our mission of helping students toward success, every step of the way. That’s why our personalized, comprehensive editing services are designed to assist each of our clients in achieving their individual goals and successfully clearing the hurdles that lie in their path to degree completion.
We’ve heard too many horror stories from individuals who have spent their hard-earned money only to receive unacceptable editing services and be back at square one. That’s why we do things differently, focusing on personalization, communication, and a highest quality final product.
Success Stories
We have already helped hundreds of customers. How? See some examples.
I would highly recommend EditingWorm. Their editors have excellent attention to detail and provide ‘above and beyond’ editing. In fact, I received more useful feedback in relation to my writing from EditingWorm than from my dissertation supervisors!
Getting started was easy and friendly. Describing the service as thorough doesn’t come close to doing my editor justice. The editing report and document comments were encouraging and instructional. The turnaround time was quick given the massive amount of detailed review involved in the editing.
Katrina and her staff are the epitome of practicing professional scholars. After years of dealing with another business, the turning point came when I hired EditingWorm to professionally edit my dissertation and they found an error with my data calculations. The EditingWorm staff coordinated with me to recalculate my data and ensure that it was reporting properly.
Our Editing Services Include:
Editors with PhDs in their discipline and scholarly publications under their belt who have an intimate understanding of the demands of the dissertation process.
Detailed feedback aimed at not only enhancing the quality of your document, but at helping you improve your overall writing skills as well.
Editing of individual chapters, prospectuses, or proposals to address your specific needs. We prefer to cultivate long-term relationships with our clients, working with them throughout the doctoral process as they complete the various degree components.
Unlimited email correspondence throughout the editing process.
One round of complimentary follow-up revisions to satisfy any additional concerns or requests that you or your committee may have.
