Academic Editing and Advice

A bachelor's thesis is the first major work for an aspiring student, while its master's counterpart is crucial for embarking on a professional or academic career. Nevertheless, not only a final thesis but a single essay can lay the groundwork for a writer's literary or academic future.

As your academic editor and supervisor, I will support you with your essay, thesis, or dissertation.

DEEP EDITING

As your editor, I work thoroughly on your text to ensure that your research is presented clearly, concisely, and professionally.

ACADEMIC EXPERTISE

As your academic supervisor, I advise you page by page on forming transparent, competent, and scientific writing within an effective conceptual research framework. For graded academic work, I will guide you on how to achieve the best possible evaluation.

PERSONAL ADVICE

I do not send out generic recommendations or checklists. From our initial greeting to our farewell, I am with you personally. I am, in the most literal sense of my corporate name, Your Editor.

EVERY WORD FROM MY OWN HAND

With my name, I stand for my work.
I never outsource and I do not use proofreading software. From the first word to the last, I edit and evaluate your research manually and with the same dedication I apply to my own writing.

TRANSPARENT INSIGHT

I will provide you with a Word document in which all changes can be tracked. I anchor individual feedback directly in the text.

FAST TURNAROUND TIME

Time stops for no one. If time is of the essence, I can edit up to 20,000 words within three days.

DATA PROTECTION

At no time do I share your documents with third parties and I store all files exclusively offline. After our collaboration, I delete your work from all storage media.

OUR COLLABORATION IN THREE STEPS

1. SEND ME A REQUEST

Please submit your work as a Word document or text file.

Please share the background of your work, including any university, department, and examiner requirements, as well as your individual research objectives. What is important to you, and which parts did you find most challenging? Are there any aspects you would like me to pay particular attention to? Finally, please let me know how soon you would prefer to receive the edited paper.

2. I WILL SEND YOU AN OFFER

I will provide an initial assessment of your work and a quote based on the word count of your text. If you would like, we can execute a sample assignment for a single chapter. This allows you to evaluate my work before entrusting me with your entire project.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Kindly consider the following conditions for our cooperation and commission my services only if you agree with them.

PAYMENT

Payment is made in advance and is possible by bank transfer or in cash. An invoice is issued for each order. I recommend that you deduct the expenses from your taxable income as a "further education measure".

CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, AND REIMBURSEMENTS

After an order is placed, I will schedule the days or weeks necessary to work on your project. This means I will subsequently decline other enquiries for the duration of this period, beginning the day our partnership starts. Please understand that any payments made are not refunded after an order is placed. If I am unable to complete an order due to unforeseen circumstances, I will refund your payment in full.

SCOPE OF MY EDITING SERVICE

– GHOSTBUSTING INSTEAD OF GHOSTWRITING

I do not work as a ghostwriter for graded academic work. Therefore, I only edit papers within the permitted scope. As your advisor, I will provide you with detailed instructions on how to develop, strengthen, and deepen your research and argumentation. However, I neither execute the actual research nor conduct experiments for you.

Advice from a Ghostbuster:
Never hire ghostwriters. First, you will pay money for what is most likely bad, plagiarised work. Second, any ensuing complaints will lead to refusals to reimburse your money, as well as threats to expose your attempted fraud to your university.

Regardless of whether your ghostwriter produces a good paper, that person can blackmail you for life. Even years later, the discovery of (attempted) academic fraud can result in the revocation of your degree.

Consider what it means to develop your own research paper. In doing so, you contribute to the growth of knowledge and understanding in your chosen discipline — a discipline that continues to evolve over thousands of years through the efforts of every student, researcher, and scientist involved in the field. Earn your place in this chain of human history and world knowledge. Help build the edifice of ideas that is your discipline by offering your own work. Do not give up. If you face difficulties, do not turn to a ghostwriter but rather your supervisor. I, too, will be happy to support you if you contact me with your individual request.

QUALITY GUARANTEE

Over the course of our cooperation, I will explicitly highlight any content-related and/or stylistic deficiencies in your texts. When advising my clients on graded academic work such as bachelor's and master's theses, I identify — to the best of my ability — any aspects that can negatively impact a student's grade. However, I cannot guarantee that my services will result in any specific grade or achievement such as a paper published in an academic journal or a scholarship award.

THE FINAL WORD

I am aware that selecting a trusted advisor for help with a major project such as a thesis is not easy. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a sample order that will provide the peace of mind that you and your work are in excellent hands.
