You’ve spent years in graduate school. You wrote your proposal, completed your research, sent drafts to your advisor, and made your corrections. The last thing on your list is to edit for grammar and formatting.
But there’s a problem. You’ve read it so many times that everything looks fine to you. You can’t even count how many revisions you’ve done. It’s time for someone else with fresh eyes and years of academic writing experience to join the project.
When you invite me to edit your article, thesis, or dissertation, I smooth out wordy language, eliminate repetition within the same sections, correct grammar and usage mistakes, and triple-check citations and formatting. I’m deeply familiar with APA, MLA, and Chicago formatting guidelines and will not rest until each citation is exactly as it should be.

Academic Writing
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I have worked with Mattie on multiple projects and it is always a pleasure. She is thorough to review the manuscript, adheres to the style guide, and offers great feedback on structuring content. I look forward to working with her on my next project.
Mattie's feedback was integral in helping me get a couple of academic articles published in peer-reviewed journals. She is much more than just a proofreader—although she is excellent in that role too. Her editorial feedback on content, style, and structure was also invaluable in helping me revise and shape my final drafts into forms that were ultimately acceptable for publication. Mattie is the best!
Mattie did a phenomenal job editing my doctoral dissertation. She was prompt, thorough, and my committee commented on a job well done. I highly recommend Mattie's services!
