Thesis and Dissertation Editing

Thesis and dissertation writing may represent a first foray into the more formalized world of academc publishing. To the uninitiated, it can be frought with discomfort and even alienation. What 'voice' will hold it together, making the author irrevocably associated with the work at hand?

That, among other things, is the work of the editor.

An editor for a thesis or dissertation requires

• a completed work
• a recognizable point of view or supportable position
• a logical sequence of the author's position

The author should require of his editor

• respect and interest in the whole of the work
• the ability to hold togethe rthe writer's essential 'voice.'
• a productively critical working relationship
• a shared sense of urgency to meet the required time schedule

Whether it be a doctoral thesis, term paper or research piece, editorial assistance will make it a more polished work.
