A Masterclass in Academic Writing
You only pay once. Let’s say you have a 6,000-word manuscript that you want us to review, then you want to revise, and have us review it one more time. That would be a Standard Review for $390 (6,000 * $0.065). That covers both rounds of review and two coaching sessions to go over the feedback and help you improve your writing skills. It’s like a one-on-one writing masterclass, all while getting your manuscript reviewed!
If you want to learn more, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Cristie.

Every thesis, dissertation, and manuscript is unique, and we do our best to accommodate your editing needs. If none of these options is quite what you are looking for, please email us to discuss your needs.
About Graduate Student Success
Over a decade ago, Dr. Cristie Glasheen started coaching graduate students who needed support completing their degrees. She discovered that many students struggle to improve their academic writing. Students are not receiving the instruction they need to improve their writing skills, despite it being one of the most common complaints from faculty members. That is where our thesis and dissertation editing services come in. We take the time to provide detailed explanations so that you can improve your writing skills while getting a stellar review at the same time. We also offer one-on-one meetings with your thesis or dissertation editor to go over this feedback.
