Manza Editorial has provided editing, proofreading, and consulting for dozens of thesis and dissertation writers. We work closely with student writers on everything from setting up the early organization of a paper to checking the formatting of a final draft, including page setup, bibliography details, and other elements of style.
A bibliography of completed thesis and dissertation projects is available here.
Common dissertation services include:- Idea development and outline organization
- Editing for clarity and concision

Major dissertation style guides include:- The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5th and 6th eds.

Dissertation editing has some specific limitations. For instance, we cannot write or rewrite any material submitted for academic credit. We can assist in deciding where rewriting is necessary and we can provide specific guidance on accomplishing that work, but we do not take raw material and turn it into a completed piece.
Nonetheless, many graduate students do require guidance in putting a complex project together, and many advisers and committees recommend seeking professional assistance. If you have any questions about your university's policy in this regard, it's probably a good idea to check with your adviser before scheduling a project.
