Doctoral-Level APA 7 Editor and Formatter Needed I am seeking a highly experienced academic editor with advanced knowledge of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition). The paper is already written; however, I need a careful and thorough editor who can review the entire document and make all necessary corrections to ensure it meets doctoral-level academic and formatting standards. The ideal candidate must have a keen eye for detail and be able to identify errors that may have been overlooked. This is not a basic proofreading assignment. The editor should be comfortable making corrections throughout the document while preserving the author’s meaning, scholarly voice, and original ideas. Responsibilities will include: Reviewing and correcting the entire paper according to APA 7 requirements. Correcting the title page, page numbers, margins, font, spacing, indentation, and paragraph formatting. Ensuring all headings and subheadings are formatted at the correct APA level. Reviewing grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, clarity, academic tone, and word choice. Improving awkward or unclear sentences while maintaining the author’s intended meaning. Checking every in-text citation for correct APA 7 formatting. Comparing in-text citations with the reference list to identify missing or unmatched sources. Correcting the reference list, including capitalization, italics, punctuation, DOI and URL presentation, and hanging indents. Reviewing tables, figures, appendices, quotations, abbreviations, and lists when applicable. Identifying inconsistencies, repetition, weak transitions, incomplete explanations, or other issues that prevent the paper from reflecting doctoral-level scholarship. Following any university-specific formatting instructions in addition to APA 7 requirements. Returning a polished, professionally formatted Word document that is ready for submission. The selected editor must rely on established APA 7 rules and the university’s written requirements. There should be no guessing. When a correction depends on missing information or an unclear institutional requirement, the editor must identify the issue and request clarification instead of making an unsupported assumption. Please apply only if you have substantial experience editing doctoral papers, dissertations, capstone projects, or advanced graduate-level academic work. Preference will be given to applicants who can demonstrate formal APA 7 training, professional academic-editing experience, and familiarity with Microsoft Word formatting tools. When submitting a proposal, please include: A description of your APA 7 and doctoral-editing experience. Examples of similar academic projects you have completed. Your process for verifying citations and references. Whether you use Track Changes and provide editorial comments. Your estimated completion time and total fee. Confirmation that you will perform a complete line-by-line review rather than relying solely on automated editing software. Accuracy, consistency, confidentiality, and attention to detail are essential. I am looking for someone who will examine the paper carefully, correct all identifiable issues, and ensure the final document is polished, consistent, and presented at a doctoral level. I am looking to hire monthly- an average of 6-8 Papers a month all different sizes 5-7 pages 10-12 pages. Etc., Willing to Sign an NDA.

Doctoral-level APA 7 formatting demands precision beyond standard proofreading—misaligned citations, inconsistent heading hierarchies, and reference list errors derail submissions despite solid content. This recurring monthly workflow (6-8 papers, 5-12 pages each) requires systematic verification protocols rather than reactive corrections. Approach: Complete line-by-line review using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. Each paper receives citation verification against the reference list, structural assessment against APA 7 Publication Manual requirements, and university-specific guideline alignment. Process identifies missing DOIs, URL formatting inconsistencies, hanging indent errors, and heading level misplacements before delivery. Editorial comments flag unclear transitions, weak scholarship indicators, or institutional requirement gaps requiring clarification rather than assumption. Deliverables include polished Word documents with all corrections applied, comprehensive editorial notes, and Turnitin plagiarism verification. Monthly retainer structure accommodates 6-8 papers with standard turnaround of 4-5 business days per submission. NDA compliance confirmed. This workload aligns with established doctoral-editing protocols refined across 500+ client projects and 6+ years of academic writing specialization. Ready to discuss fee structure and project timeline based on average paper length and submission frequency.
