Brianna T.
Dissertation & Academic Manuscript Editor | Professional Editing Co.
Hello! I’m the founder of Professional Editing Co., where I work closely with PhD students and researchers on dissertations and academic manuscripts that require careful, expert attention. I have extensive experience editing both qualitative and quantitative dissertations and am deeply familiar with the structure and expectations of a traditional five-chapter dissertation. Through my work as a Dissertation Editor for the American College of Education, I developed a nuanced understanding of dissertation requirements from proposal through final submission. I am also comfortable working with non-traditional dissertation formats, including auto-ethnographies and dissertations with creative or hybrid structures. In addition to dissertation work, I provide comprehensive editing for non-fiction manuscripts intended for publication, theses, capstone projects, annotated bibliographies, research papers, and research-informed organizational reports. Across all projects, I prioritize clarity, concision, and cohesion while maintaining the author’s voice and rhythm. APA expertise is a core part of my practice. I edit and format documents to APA 7 standards, including headings, tables and figures, body text, reference pages, and in-text citations. I conduct detailed reference audits to ensure accuracy and consistency between in-text citations and reference entries, verify DOIs and hyperlinks, and confirm source details (i.e., author(s), publication date, title, and source) for completeness and correctness. I will also edit or create your table of contents, list of tables and figures, format your copyright attributions appropriately, and ensure your manuscript matches your university's template and/or guidelines (i.e., front matter, pagination, etc.). My editing style is rigorous--I identify inconsistencies, logical gaps in reasoning, ambiguity, disruptions in flow, and poorly made connections, and I helps you clarify and refine the delivery of your ideas. I've edited hundreds of dissertations—all with varying university requirements—and have consistently received feedback speaking to the intentionality and care I offer with each project. I take this work seriously and care deeply about my clients’ success. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you to bring your project across the finish line. *Please note: I do not rely on AI tools to review or revise your work.
