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. Whether you’re returning to school for an advanced degree or entering graduate school straight out of college, it can be difficult to meet the research writing skills required by your program. It may come as a surprise, but you don’t have to be an excellent writer to successfully complete a dissertation or thesis. That’s where our dissertation editing services come in.

We've designed our dissertation editing services to help you finish your dissertation faster, with less stress.

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 specialized PhD editors, researchers, 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 research, formatting, or dissertation editing services, we’re here to assist you every step of the way. With respected scholars from a wide range of disciplines on staff, we offer guidance and peace of mind during this challenging time in your academic career. That’s why using our dissertation editing services will result in a final product that will earn you the accolades and title for which you’ve 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.
