Stirling is highly skilled and experienced in formatting dissertations (both Word and pdf versions).  His capability and competence are matched by his efficiency and reliability.  I am very grateful for all the help and attention he gave to ensure my dissertation’s format met the department’s requirements.

Stirling took all of the stress out of the approval and ETD process. He immediately turned around any formatting change requests and allowed me to meet all requests and resubmit with remarkable speed. Stirling’s almost instantaneous responses were such a breath of fresh air and were a difference maker for me. I felt like I had a professional in my corner and it was an awesome feeling.

Stirling was a great editor for my dissertation ETD and is a great person. He is very collaborate, efficient, responsive, and has good ethics. He knows all the techniques to save a lot of time. With his help, none of my time was wasted during the whole process.

Stirling was very professional.  Stirling has experience with the process and can help walk you through what to do.  He said that he would stay with me through the approval process, and he did!    Any revisions to the ETD that were requested by the department or school were completed swiftly, generally within the same day.  If he had a question about a revision request, he went straight to the Dean’s Office to get answers.  His help was invaluable!  The process would have been miserable without his knowledge and skills.  Having Stirling as my advocate made me feel confident that everything would work out.  He kept his word.  He was efficient.  He was easy to work with.  He was available.  I would not want to navigate the ETD process without him.  That would be a mistake!

I had nothing but peace of mind throughout the entire ETD process. Stirling responded to any changes that needed to be made within 60 minutes, and his quick work helped me meet every deadline easily. Stirling saved me countless hours that, as a full-time teacher and administrator, would have been difficult for me to find in my busy schedule. Thank you!

Because I wrote my dissertation on a Mac there were conversion nightmares all along the path to the ETD product. Additionally, I was up against a deadline, Enter Stirling. Each time we met or communicated he was calm and optimistic. I appreciated his technological talents, but his confident demeanor was even more important to me. I would not be graduating without Stirling’s expertise. He saved me time and stress at a time of upheaval. I am so grateful to Stirling for his service to me.

Stirling was extremely helpful and very prompt. He did a great job with very little time. It was obvious that he was sincerely interested in helping me.  I had very little trouble submitting the ETD because of Stirling’s good work. I would highly recommend him.
-A. Grow, Master of Arts in Comparative Studies

Stirling was incredibly helpful during the formatting process. My program has several requirements and hoops to jump through for a thesis to be approved. Stirling was very knowledgeable about all of these requirements and re-formatted my thesis to fit them. When additional changes needed to be made at higher levels, Stirling answered my emails within 30 minutes and sent me a new draft within an hour of me contacting him. He was very prompt and professional and stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process to make sure things were going smoothly. I would recommend Stirling’s services to any graduate student in need of formatting help. He really made the final steps of graduate program more bearable  and helped me graduate when I wanted to.

Stirling is a miracle worker!  I was so stressed about getting my ETD finished because I had a newborn and no time.  Stirling was able to finish my ETD in no time flat.  He was thorough and made all the changes that my department and college requested.  He was easy to talk to and work with.  I highly recommend his services to everyone who has to do and ETD!

Stirling was quick to turn around and get edits back to me, usually within only an hour or two. I felt bad asking for help on minor edits that came up throughout the process with my department, but he was always happy to help throughout everything!
-J. Kirchhoefer – PhD in Counseling Psychology

Stirling was amazing to work with. I got myself in a bit of a pickle, finishing content for my thesis at 5 am on the 4th of July with the formatted version due on the 5th. Stirling had my thesis formatted and ready for me to give to my committee that same night. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate his dedication and professionalism. Not needing to learn Word formatting (or curse out their programming team, like another classmate) made writing my thesis so much more manageable. Thanks for your help Stirling!
-S. Egbert – Master in Mechanical Engineering

Stirling did an amazing job on my novel. I had known something was off and just couldn’t put my finger on it, and Stirling’s content edit really helped me to nail down the problems and how I could fix them. I would recommend his service to any serious writers that want to improve their piece, or hone their skills faster.
-T. Sleight, Fiction writer and novelist

Stirling is a consummate professional who save me a great deal of time and frustration by working with me on my dissertation. One of the most valuable services Stirling offers-in addition to editing for grammar, APA formatting, and reference checking-is assisting with all the adjustments during the ETD submission process. He is also quick to respond and very personable. I enjoyed working with him and I highly recommend Stirling to anyone needing editing services or help with the ETD submission.

Stirling was exceptional. He was accommodating during a stressful COVID dissertation year. He responded quickly to any emails or questions. I never had one moment of stress about the ETD product as Stirling was knowledgeable and capable. I consider Stirling’s fees to be the best money I spent in 2021. 
-K. Betts, PhD in Education

I feel very fortunate to have had Stirling as my editor while working to finish my doctoral dissertation. Stirling came highly recommended from a trusted colleague and taking my business to him paid off in spades. Stirling was a true professional through each step of the process. He was attentive to m y needs as a customer. From understanding important timelines related to the doctoral dissertation process to being flexible when a curveball might have been thrown his way. All of my communications with Stirling were positive and left me feeling confident that the money I was spending for his services was money well spent. His feedback and recommendations were always spot on. I would, without reservation, recommend Stirling to anyone needing editing services. That dude is as solid as the day is long!
-P. Flanagan Education, PhD in Education

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Stirling as I was finishing up my Doctorate of Education. Stirling came highly recommended from my department and I can honestly say he made my life so much easier as I finalized my dissertation. I was not disappointed in the least. My dissertation much more readable and professional thanks to not only his exceptional skills but to his sound understanding of reaching mechanics. I give Stirling my highest recommendation and look forward to working with him in the future.
-J. Benson, PhD in Education

Stirling was wonderful to work with during the final stages of my dissertation. He was quick, detailed, and very knowledgeable. He addressed every question and concern I had and took time to research items he was unfamiliar with. His work took a substantial load off of my plate and allowed me to focus on the dissertation content, rather than spending countless hours looking up editing and formatting details. I would certainly work with him again, and would recommend him to others.
-K. Jensen, PhD in Education

Stirling was a wonderful support to the process of preparing my dissertation for defense and for subsequent approval. His professional expertise made the document easier to read and ensured that it met the standards set by the department and the college. His willingness to meet deadlines showed his skill and understanding of the process and the demand created by the gravity of this kind of work. It was a pure joy to know along the way that I had this service to back me up as I went through the many steps to successfully complete my dissertation. I could not have done it alone!

Stirling was both structured and flexible in his services. He is an extremely skilled editor, and I would highly recommend him as a partner in finalizing the dissertation process. Although he has a very thought out process, Stirling also was able to adapt to my individual timeline as well as department protocols. 
-S. Kimball, PhD in Education

He was amazing. So on top of things, quick and communicative. He was also kind and personable even though we never met in person!
-Lisa Scott,  PhD in Counseling Psychology

The final phases of preparing a dissertation for publication is unpredictable and filled with minutia. I provided targeted dates to deliver my manuscript to Stirling, only to overshoot my own deadlines, in part due to factors beyond my control. When I did deliver my manuscript, Stirling was terrific to get initial edits done in short order. I had a tight timeline to make summer graduation and Stirling responded accordingly. He was flexible and also prompt. Not only was Stirling’s work exceptional, he was a wonderful guide and friend to walk me through an otherwise daunting process. Highly recommend!
