From doctors we’ve helped graduate
“I personally want to thank Edit 911 for all they have done for me. I am confident when I say without their assistance and support I would not have been able to complete my doctoral work. Their knowledge base, willingness to help, and quick turnaround provided me with the formula for success. I would encourage any undergraduate or graduate student to use Edit 911, as it would provide them with a sense of security and the mindset for future success.”
Keith T. Levatino, Ed.D., Principal, Perry Junior High School
“I had an emergency last semester when my dissertation committee chair gave me 40 days to edit my 430 page dissertation. Thank God for Edit 911. I called them and they said that the task would not be a problem. In less than one week, my entire dissertation was proofed and edited, with correction mark-ups in the margins. I submitted my dissertation and it was accepted by all three members on my committee. I graduated 15 days later. Without Edit 911, I would still be ABD.”
Garrard McClendon, PhD, Loyola University Chicago
For doctoral candidates
We’ll help you get your dissertation approved.
We know the revision cycle well: rounds of committee feedback, shifting requests, and another term of tuition while you wait. Many of our editors have been through it themselves, and many have since sat on the other side of the table.
Our aim is a dissertation your committee can approve: clear, rigorous, consistently formatted, and unmistakably your own argument.
After your defense
From dissertation to published book.
Once your dissertation, thesis, or capstone is approved, our Transformational Editing service helps you revise it into a book manuscript ready to submit to an academic press.
For many new PhDs, publication shapes the academic job search. Our editors bring experience with university presses, scholarly journals, and hiring committees, and can advise you on both.
‘Publish or perish’ is no cliché.
We can’t over-emphasize the crucial importance of your becoming a published scholar. No matter what your discipline or doctoral degree, you will publish or perish, as the old saying goes. It’s absolutely true:
