- Contract editing of dissertations (mostly 150–200 pages) for primarily online university students. Schools follow different dissertation formats, and thus I have become quite thorough in formatting large-volume documents according to templates and guidelines, with heavy emphasis on APA.
Cambridge International

- Contract editing for authors who wish to publish in English-language journals. Topics included approaches to teaching English as a foreign language among Chinese secondary school teachers; whether or not young children can be relied on to give accurate testimony; modeling boundary shear stress in open channels using machine learning; the evolution of regional trade agreements in Latin America; and numerous others. Editing for Cambridge was predominately dissertations of 10,000 to 20,000 words, and from one of their authors, I received the following compliment: "I am very satisfied and pleased for your excellent work. The revisions are careful and valuable, and almost all of them are acceptable. Especially the revision comments, which tell me why the sentence should/could be revised in such a way, will do great help to my English writing in the future."
