Editing Academic Papers: Recommendations
|

Note: I edit academic papers. I will not write papers for students. I will, however, work with
people to improve their papers.
These are a selection of unsolicited comments from clients:
(This was a comment made when I received her unsolicited request for help.)
I had used an editor but the school wasn't pleased with her editing and I was very disappointed.
The school has reviewed Brian's paper which you edited and felt it was done well.

YO MY NEW BEST FRIEND,
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. I WAS ALMOST READY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL. WHEN I
TALKED TO BRIAN AND HE GAVE ME YOUR NAME. I'VE BEEN TRAVELING A LOT WITH MY JOB
THIS YEAR SO IT HASN'T BEEN LIKE I'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO SPEND ON WRITING
PAPERS. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THINGS WILL GET BETTER ANY TIME SOON SO I'M GOING
TO CONTINUE TO NEED YOUR HELP.

out. I'm beginning to see the problems areas more clearly! I'm feeling better already....really well
done!!

(Later, after I had finished a second document:) You are now familiar with our concepts and if we
need other document translated, we will certainly come to you.
