Write Every Day

21st September 2020

Writing is central for both working on a thesis and for a career in academia.

In the final stages of completing my thesis for my master’s degree, I was in search of an objective 'eye', a type of ‘coach’, who could unequivocally point out areas that needed addressing to enhance the overall presentation of the study. I discovered the Dissertation Editor online, who provided a Document Review and Consultation service. The consultation was with Dr. Nxxx, who, to my absolute delight, systematically and coherently remarked on the thesis draft and articulately presented commendations and recommendations. I believe that this process was worth the investment and I will definitely recommend the services of Thesis Editor to any post-graduate student.
