Mary Beth Averill, PhD

Mary Beth has been editing for academic writers for over 30 years. Editing projects include dissertations, theses, books and book chapters, and journal articles in a variety of fields, but mostly in social sciences, education, and sciences, using APA style or another author/year system. She takes into consideration addition style requirements of a journal or graduate school. For manuscripts written by people whose first language is English, Mary Beth can edit between 5-12 pages an hour depending on how well written the manuscript is--this is pretty much standard for good academic editors.
