Academic Editing Services

Part of the services I provide to academia is an editing, proofreading and layout (typesetting/formatting) service.


	Dissertation and Thesis Coaching based on Systems - Balance - Results Focus on the actions that will achieve your goals

I can work with the following formats: Microsoft Word, Excel and Publisher; Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Pagemaker and Acrobat; QuarkXpress.

I also have extensive experience in formatting bibliographies according to specified styles.

I also have knowledge of ancient Egyptian, French, German, Italian and Russian. Contact me if you need editorial or proofreading assistance with those languages.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of having me edit, proofread or design/layout your dissertation, article or book, please email me.

Editing, proofreading, indexing

‘We owe it to a large extent to [Gaye] that we now have a well-established reputation of being virtually free of typing errors (as one of the last volume’s reviewers remarked: “despite a desperate search for typing or other errors, I have been unable to find any”).’ Professor Jean-Paul Descoeudres, Editor, Mediterranean Archaeology journal

‘Thanks for improving the article! You have such a good turn of phrase as well as a sharp eye and knowledge of the conventions. Just as well that you’re on the ball! THANKS AGAIN!’ Jana Jones, Department of Egyptology, Macquarie University

‘Thanks for doing such a great job on a difficult text.’ Professor Graeme Clarke, The Australian National University

‘Thanks for the very good job you did on the MS. Your corrections were spot on and at times saved us great embarrassment. Very thorough indeed.’ Camilla Norman, Department of Archaeology, The University of Sydney

‘Many thanks for the hard work that you put in on chapter 2. It really needed help, and you have provided same … Many thanks for the improvements that you are making on my ms.’ Dr Robert McIver, author of Mainstream or Marginal: The Matthean Community in Early Christianity

‘Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Comments were clear to understand and our paper could be improved substantially with the comments.’ Inkyo Cheong, Professor of Economics, and Director of the Center for FTA Policies, Inha University, Korea

‘I was impressed at how thorough you are in your editing. I would not hesitate in recommending working with you on another book.’ Minni Reis, PAFTAD International Secretariat, The Australian National University

‘I highly recommend the thorough and professional editorial services of Gaye Wilson. Gaye was consistent in her work, reliable in her delivery and was able to navigate through the technical jargon of my thesis to improve the writing quality and reading fluidity. Her comments were incredibly helpful and informative — particularly with consistency and readability. Thanks, Gaye!’ Vicki Chartrand, PhD Candidate in Sociology, Macquarie University, Australia

‘Dr Wilson was recommended to me by some colleagues whom I had confided in during a particularly stressful and rather sorry stint with a prior publisher. With the panic setting in due to the financial and time constraints of my predicament, Dr Wilson was gracious and realistic about my situation. Her professional standards, common sense and amazing compassion resulted in a successfully edited and completed PhD. I was also impressed with the quality of the editing and formatting of her work especially since the whole project was undertaken under very severe time constraints. In future I hope to work with her again and have no reservations whatsoever in recommending her to other colleagues. I am truly grateful for all her help.’ Archondia Thanos DPhil., Oxford UK

‘What a fabulous job Gaye!! Thank you sooo much. I'll be using this on MANY of my classes and will be acknowledging you for creating this form.’ Kathryn Gray, CCG, PCC, CMC, Business & Personal Development Coach

‘I think the changes [to the spreadsheet] are excellent. Thank you so much for doing such great work.’ Dr David Brennan, Editing and Publications Officer, Australian Catholic Social Justice Council

‘Your formatting of my thesis is just gorgeous!’ Louise Katz, University of Sydney, Australia
