Hills Wordlark editing specialises in academic thesis editing in education, humanities (arts), and psychology, as well as non-fiction projects such as brochures, websites, policy reports and papers for non-government organisations, small businesses, and charities.
For postgraduate thesis editing services, it's advisable to schedule in advance to ensure availability and ample time for collaboration to refine your manuscript and showcase all the hard work you've invested in your thesis. The final stages of preparing a thesis for submission can be daunting. This is where a professional editor plays a role in alleviating stress during this period, and ensuring your research is presented in a clear and scholarly way and adheres to style guide formatting requirements for professional presentation of the final manuscript.
Many universities offer funding for thesis editing services that make this option affordable. I provide upfront quotes for all services.

I used WordLark Editing Services and could not have been more impressed with Kerry Wardlaw and the work that she completed. Her attention to detail and clear timelines made the final stages of completing my PhD seamless and efficient. She consistently communicated throughout the process and was extremely thorough in her approach, knowing all the details of the APA formatting guidelines. I would highly recommend her services to any student who requires a specialist in academic editing.

Dr Wardlaw was the editor of my Master of Education thesis. She was very supportive, thorough, and professional. She provided timely and quality feedback, including on writing mechanics, clarity of argument and formatting. It was noted by my supervisors that the overall quality of my thesis was enhanced by the proofreading/editing process. I highly recommend Kerry’s work. Finalising a thesis is a stressful thing, so a great editor makes a huge difference!

Working with Kerry was truly transformative for my PhD journey. Her meticulous attention to detail, insightful feedback, and deep understanding of academic writing elevated my thesis, ensuring my academic voice came to fruition at a publishable standard. She not only refined my language and structure but also helped me clarify complex arguments with precision and confidence. Communication was always prompt, supportive, and encouraging, making the editing process both efficient and deeply motivating. I cannot recommend Kerry highly enough for anyone seeking expert guidance and excellence in academic editing. Kerry, you are amazing!
Katrina, PhD, Education
I discovered Kerry Wardlaw and her editing services via another Monash PhD student recommendation and am so delighted that I engaged Kerry in the final stages of my thesis. Kerry’s genuine collaborative style and professionalism was demonstrated in many ways including her thoroughness, her responsiveness, her timeliness and her genuine interest in my research. This was incredibly important at the point where the writing task seemed to be endless and I wondered if anyone would ever read my work. I recommend Kerry wholeheartedly to other students/ writers and thank her for supporting me across the APA7 finishing line.
