“I was so glad my dissertation chair recommended Dr. Alan Faingold as an editor for my dissertation. I honestly do not know how much longer it would have taken to complete the dissertation with all of the required APA 7 formatting changes. I graduated much sooner than I would have without his help. Alan was always very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, competent, and fair in my interactions with him, and I can never thank him enough for helping me cross the finish line and graduate with my doctoral degree. I look forward to his help with journal articles I hope to write in the future. I would highly recommend Alan’s services.” For more information, visit his website at academiceditinghelp.com.
