My Dissertation is an Incoherent, 80,000-Word Monster. Help?
Look, I'm done. I finished the thing, right? The data is mostly there, the arguments are sort of... present, I think. But it reads like I dictated the entire thing while running through a swamp. It’s sprawling. It’s a jumbled mess of half-formed concepts and citation errors that would genuinely make a stern librarian weep. I’ve stared at it so long, I can’t even tell the difference between a dangling modifier and a genuinely brilliant insight anymore; my mind is just a slurry. I desperately need external, scrupulous attention. Has anyone actually used decent editing services for dissertation work lately? I don't want a college student with a cheap red pen; I need a textual surgeon who can mend structural decay. Please tell me who you used.
