About
I need to start by telling you that I only edit academic writing with APA writing guidelines. I do not ghost write either. Other than that… I’ve had experience with the following schools: UMGC, OSU, USC, Walden University, Grand Canyon University, Harvard, Saybrook University, and many more. I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success (Sigma Alpha Pi). Nomination was based on my overall GPA, which upon graduation for my Masters was 3.85! Turning in your dissertation or Masters thesis shouldn't hurt. With a healthy dose of humor, I'll help you deliver a clear, concise, APA-compliant thesis that you can be proud of -- and get you to the finish line. I know the pain of writing a dissertation personally from earning my own PhD in Psychology. I survived and you will too. I'll talk you off the ledge if you need it. You can do this!

Dr. Ellie was a non-stop pleasure to work with. She understood my project right away, and when we ran into problems, she blew right past them without any worry on her part. Her work quality is highly professional and very detailed. I would highly recommend her to anyone writing a professional document -- whether article, book, or dissertation. You will get personal and direct service from Dr. Ellie.

I hired Dr Ellie Edits and I am so happy with the experience. What stood out most was that she's a real human with a great sense of humor, something you don't always find in editing services. She approached my paper with genuine care and attention, working on it as though it were her own project. Her editing was thorough and thoughtful, and she made the entire process so much more pleasant than I expected. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in your work and make the editing process actually enjoyable, I highly recommend her services.

Details: Editing • Proofreading • Formatting and fact checking • Academic papers and journals • Education • 50,000 - 100,000 words • A single project • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Dr. Ellie and I met at the crossroads of stress and surrender. While I was trying to find the continued motivation for moving with my dissertation, she reassured me that things would be okay. She took my words, made them more professional, and continued to challenge me! Not only is she great to talk to, but her sense of humor also provides the stress relief I sought. Her responsiveness is fast and does not leave you in the dark, with top-tier work quality. The value is beyond reasonable, yet the work she does and how she is instrumental should be charging more. However, she knows she is working with students, and that is what makes her core values stand out. I look forward to having her in my life until my journey is completed! I am so glad we met!

Details: Editing • Proofreading • Formatting and fact checking • Academic papers and journals • Education • 30,000 - 50,000 words • A single project • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)
