About Dr Ellie Edits/The APA Guru

I specialize exclusively in editing academic writing that follows APA guidelines. I do not provide ghostwriting. I have been using APA since the 1970s as an undergraduate psychology major. Prior to creating Dr. Ellie Edits, I edited friends’ papers for free since 1990s. With over 14 years in business, I’ve supported students from UMGC, OSU, USC, Walden University, Grand Canyon University, Harvard, Saybrook University, and many more. I’m also a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success (Sigma Alpha Pi), nominated based on my 3.85 GPA in my master’s program. As someone who earned a PhD in Psychology, I know firsthand how painful dissertations and theses can feel. My job is to make that process easier—with clear, concise, APA-compliant edits, a bit of humor, and steady support to get you to the finish line. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Let’s work together so you can submit work you’re proud of.

I not only found a great editor, but I found a friend. Dr. Ellie is very trustworthy, honest, and tells it like it is! Her experience with APA is expert level. She helped me stay on course and meet my deadline. I highly recommend her for any type of dissertation work! She gives high value, encouragement, and emotional support during the high stress dissertation process. I am so grateful for her.

Dr. Ellie is amazing! I hired Dr. Ellie as an editor for my dissertation. She was spot on regarding what I needed to do and the feedback that she provided after review of my first 2 chapters. Her experience and professionalism helped ensure that my paper was edited to the highest standard, and she ensured that the formatting of my paper was ready to pass all reviews. I recommend Dr. Ellie with the highest level of confidence that the work that she does is top notch and that she cares about how she is helping you succeed. Thank you so much for walking this journey with me, enduring that my dissertation was edited with expertise that secured a successful submission.

Her work quality is highly professional and very detailed. I would highly recommend her to anyone writing a professional document -- whether article, book, or dissertation. You will get personal and direct service from Dr. Ellie.

I hired Dr Ellie Edits and I am so happy with the experience. What stood out most was that she's a real human with a great sense of humor, something you don't always find in editing services. She approached my paper with genuine care and attention, working on it as though it were her own project. Her editing was thorough and thoughtful, and she made the entire process so much more pleasant than I expected. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in your work and make the editing process actually enjoyable, I highly recommend her services.

Editor lacked professionalism and came off as very rude. In the future it might be helpful to have better customer service.
