I had no idea I needed to have my dissertation professionally edited until I was at the end of my schooling, so I had no idea what to look for. I contacted Dr. Pollan and she was extremely informative in every part of the process. I would use her services again if I needed them. The resulting edits far exceeded my expectations!
