The professional support she then produces creates a team endeavor that eliminates the normal insecurities that come with conducting this type of work alone. For me, and my master's thesis, Jill was a godsend. Its nice to know there are people like her who truly work for the greater good"~

"Jill is an extraordinary editor. I located her with 4 months left to complete my doctoral and a dissertation draft that was a disaster. After hiring various editors promising APA expertise, my committee chair would not pass the document because it was not in APA format! Jill professionally and expertly edited my dissertation, leading to final submittal of a document that required absolutely no changes and led to the award of my doctoral degree. Jill is outstanding and remarkably talented"~

"Jill is not just an editor. She is a professional who is extraordinarily committed to providing superior editorial support. I had been working on my dissertation for two years and was exhausted from intense work on my literature review, data collection, analysis, interpretation, etc. It was a relief to relinquish my paper for editing--especially since it was going to someone I knew would care for my work as though it were her own. I was amazed at the level of devotion Jill gave to every detail. I could not have finished the paper without her support!"~

"As any doctoral student will tell you, the dissertation process is chaotic and grueling. Writing my dissertation was one of the most emotionally challenging periods of my life. I am a father of four young daughters, and I have had to balance raising them with working on my doctoral studies and my dissertation for some time now. I am so happy that I found Jill to help me through the process. In my opinion, she is simply the best. After Jill's thorough edit, my dissertation breezed through the seemingly endless checks I was previously experiencing from my committee. Perhaps as valuable as her edit was her knowledge of the process. She knew what the university would do, every step of the way, and was there to calm me down when I panicked. I highly recommend Jill to anyone seeking editorial services. You simply will not be disappointed. In my humble opinion, she is the best at what she does. I am very happy that I used her as my editor and will recommend her to anyone because I know they not be disappointed"~

"Jill Eastwood provided me with professional, accurate, and effective support in editing my doctoral dissertation. There are a number of services that are either not as knowledgeable as they should be, overpriced, slow, or a combination of all of the aforementioned.

I would recommend Jill to anyone requiring professional editing services." ~

"I worked for what seemed years on my dissertation. When I returned from Afghanistan after my deployment with the Air Force, I knew I had to finish my studies. Conducting the research and applying the various statistical formulas and drawing conclusions were the easy part. The difficult part was putting it all together in a cogent, precise manner that met the dreaded APA standards. After several rewrites and revisions, my committee chairman suggested I consider the use of an APA editor. That's when I found Jill (and thank God I did!). Jill took my rough dissertation and edited it into a document that flew through my committee the first time! Her ability to immediately identify APA formatting requirements was such a tremendous help. Once she had the rough document, she immediately went to work. In less than a month, Jill sent me the edited version of the dissertation. After a couple of phone conferences, it was done! The amazing thing was it seemed as if Jill was right here in Tampa with me. When she says "editorial partnership," she means it! I highly recommend Jill as an editor"~

The finished product met all of the APA requirements, as well as the school’s required template and guidelines. Jill takes her work very seriously.

You may be discouraged or hesitate to pay the cost, but I promise you will not be disappointed in your investment. Jill will not waste your money.

"Walden University provides assistance for students seeking help with writing skills. Although several types of editing assistance are offered, I decided upon the option of hiring an editor from the recommended Walden list. I requested information from three of the editors and Jill Eastwood was the only one who contacted me promptly by phone. She clearly explained the editorial process and, shortly thereafter, I now have a proposal that is articulate and correct in APA style. It is obvious that Jill understands the writing style and guidelines required by Walden University. Jill is dedicated to her clients and is always available for any questions or concerns. She provides extra assistance and guidance when needed during any hour of the day. My only regret is that I did not contact Jill a year ago"~
