Having editorial support is invaluable to writing success for every stage of the writing process. The Writers’ Exchange offers editing help from the very beginning of a project, including thesis development and organization, to the final revisions of sentence structure and the conclusion. If you’re concerned about the direction or clarity of your writing, the WEX editor will work with you to review your entire document. WEX editors provide line-by-line feedback related to thesis statement, organization, structure, style, and clarity as well as correct sentence-level concerns (spelling, punctuation, and grammar).

You’re at the end of your writing process of an important document, and you know it deserves the polish that an outsider’s eye can provide to the format. Perhaps you are preparing your dissertation for final submission to your committee. Or perhaps your dissertation has been approved, and you’ve been advised to have a format or style editor review the full document for its accuracy in following the style sheet. Or you might be preparing for publication and want to make sure you meet the style requirements of a specific journal.

The WEX Style Editor will adjust the formatting of your document, paying careful attention to fonts, margins, header/footer, punctuation, headings, table/figure captions, front matter, references/work cited, etc. WEX editors can work with most style sheets, including APA, MLA, and Chicago as well as specific journals or publishers. If you are submitting a dissertation or article that relies on an internal style sheet, please include that style sheet.

Format editing is best accomplished with a finalized draft of the manuscript. You should have all content, including in-text citations, in place before requesting this service. The format editor will adjust only what is included and will not look for missing information or incomplete citations. We also respect the authority of the writer and use track changes in our editing of your documents. As a result, the writer is ultimately responsible to make changes unto the documents. Please check out our FAQ on using track changes.

WEX Format Editors work with both Word and PDF files depending upon the status of the document. Any dissertation that has received formal approval from the committee should be formatted as PDF file in order to secure the format. Should you have any questions, please refer to the WEX Dissertation FAQs Sheet.  

You’re ready for the job market, and you want to put your best foot forward in ensuring your materials make it to the top. The résumé and CV (Curriculum Vitae) have a distinct purpose of introducing you to a team of reviewers, and you want to ensure that what you submit is polished, professional, and effectively reflects your skills as well as your individualism. Both documents demand an expertise to ensure that yours is not only reviewed but impresses the readers of your candidacy. Whether it’s for a practicum experience or a professional position, you deserve to make a good impression from the very beginning. WEX editors can help you succeed.

We have both “Combination Packages” and hourly rates. The “Combination Packages” provide you with the flexibility of speaking with the editor, getting writing support, and later editing. If you have any questions, contact WEX and we’ll be glad to help.
