Thesis/Dissertation Proofread and Stylistic Edit


This level of editing involves clarifying meaning, eliminating jargon, and polishing language. I will correct grammar and syntax errors and will fine-tune the language to convey a congruent message. This product bundle includes a Documentation Review for no additional charge. I will cross-check every source reference against the list in your bibliography to ensure that every citation has a corresponding reference entry and vice versa. I will also review your in-text citations and your reference entries to ensure that all follow the correct formatting according to current MLA or APA requirements.
