Getting It Right Means Getting It Accepted
When it comes to economics manuscripts, the big picture matters just as much as the tiny details. Getting either wrong can hold you back from getting published (or graduating, if you're working on a dissertation).
As a new person reading your manuscript, I am in the perfect position to spot places that don't make sense. I can provide feedback on logic, word choice, effectiveness, organization and more. I’ll provide the feedback and editing you need so you can be confident that your ideas are clearly presented, free of mechanical errors, and in the right style and tone.

Rates
Each project is unique. To get a quote for your specific paper, please send me a message. Once I have your information (your deadline, the timeline you would like editing completed in, what school you attend, and if you need your content edited per a specific style guide), I will ask you for a sample of your paper. After I have received your sample, I will write back with a per-page rate specific to your project so that you know exactly how much you will be spending if you chose to have your paper edited. I will include a free sample edit of your project so you can see if we are a good fit. Just like in dating, not every editor is right for every project! If you find that we are not a fit, I can put you in touch with another highly-skilled economics editor.
Custom Packages For Students On A Budget
On a budget? I offer custom packages as well. For example, I can edit some chapters of a dissertation line-by-line and skip other chapters that do not require editing. If you are interested in a custom package or on a tight budget, please let me know. Together, we can figure out which sections will most benefit from editing and how to get you to the finish line without going over your budget.
Payment
I accept payment via my website, melissa-haskin.com, which accepts all major credit and debit cards. I can also accept payment through PayPal or through your university, if you choose to pay with a grant. I require a deposit on all academic work. This deposit will hold your spot for editing and will be credited towards your final bill. It is non-refundable.
Book Now!
I typically book out 1-2 months in advance. The sooner you reach out, the more likely it is that I can help you get your paper where you want it before it's due, so reach out today for a free quote and sample edit.
Testimonials
I have been working with Melissa for two years, and she remains my first point of contact whenever I need my papers proofread or edited. She is professional, fast, extremely careful, friendly, and affordable. Since I am not a native English speaker, and most of my work is scientific in nature, I always had a problem finding a person who could understand the content of my work, and be able to edit it without changing the meaning of the work. Melissa is among very few who could fill in the job. – Frankie, PhD.
... [Melissa] was flexible and helped me out by not only editing and formatting my paper but also giving me helpful tips on content and good language use. She was willing to spend the whole weekend with me. Thanks to Melissa, I was able to meet the deadline and graduate on time. – Marina, SFSU
