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.

done!!
