EXPERIENCED, RELIABLE, SUPPORTIVE
When you’ve invested so much time and energy into your dissertation or thesis, it is so valuable to work with an editor who is not only experienced but is someone you can count on to complete the work in a timely manner while supporting you through the editing process. As an English tutor, college English and Communications instructor, and as a dissertation editor, Matt has been helping students achieve their academic goals for nearly two decades.
Matt’s effectiveness as an editor and understanding of what makes good copy is a direct result of his nearly 25 years of writing experience. Since beginning his journalism career in 2002, Matt has covered sports for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, and the Chicago Tribune, contributed travel-related blog posts and articles for the New York Times, written a parenting blog for Neighborhood Parents Network, shared thoughts about sports fans for Psychology Today, and crafted technology proposals for nearly a decade for a global IT company.
Based in Chicago, Matt has also written for alumni publications, including those at Roosevelt University, Adler University, DeVry University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
