Yaqub O.

Academic writing, editing, proofreading, formatting and research support specialist for dissertations, theses, research papers and journal manuscripts. With 10+ years of experience and 400+ completed projects, I help PhD candidates, Master’s students and researchers sharpen structure, strengthen argument, and meet exacting APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago and IEEE standards, without losing their voice. Most clients reach out at critical stages: when a dissertation or thesis chapter needs revision following supervisor feedback, a document needs AI-content review and editing before submission, a literature review needs stronger critical synthesis, a research proposal needs refinement, research methods (quantitative or qualitative) need expert review, or a journal manuscript needs polishing before submission. Some clients come with a rough draft they can’t pull together, and I help them find the structure already in it. I work across Business, Economics, Social Sciences, Psychology, Education, Humanities, Medical & Health Sciences, Law, Real Estate, and STEM-related research, adapting my editing and research support to the conventions of each discipline and citation system.
