Testimonials

I am pleased to endorse the editorial services I received for my DBA dissertation from Megan Krone. Working with her was a great part of the process in preparation for my final defense, and a high level of quality was required in content and grammar for the final approval of the manuscript. Her clarity, adaptability, and, most importantly, well-versed knowledge and qualifications in the APA guidelines were outstanding and significantly contributed to the success of my work. I passed my final defense with ease the first time and had extremely minor edits due to the feedback and corrections I had obtained and collaborated with from Megan’s feedback and revisions.

From the initial consultation, she displayed a high level of professionalism, having an introductory Zoom call to explain what her services covered, what I can expect, and I was able to share my needs to see if this would be a mutual fit. Communication was prompt, courteous, and clear. I received a detailed breakdown of services, which helped me choose the best support for my needs. She adhered to a clear timeline, ensuring reliability and reducing my stress, so I could meet the due dates and milestones of my program. The customization and responsiveness to my specific needs were exceptional. Megan promptly incorporated revisions based on feedback from my doctoral chair and committee, demonstrating flexibility and commitment. Regular updates kept me informed, fostering a collaborative relationship.

Megan’s meticulous attention to detail improved clarity, coherence, and overall readability of the document. She gave feedback on revisions in the entire document and provided constructive feedback, enhancing the overall quality of my work and aiding my writing development. I highly recommend these services to any doctorate level candidate seeking dependable and expert editorial support. Her service played a key role in the successful completion of my dissertation, and was well worth the investment.

Dr. Krone followed the guidelines of the university and APA formatting to the letter and always made sure her work as an editor was aligned with the dissertation committee Chair's guidance.

“I have witnessed Dr. Megan Krone's abilities firsthand and she is by far one of the greatest academic writing proofreaders and tutors you are going to find. Her knowledge is often ahead of the very academic institutions and journals the papers are being finalized for! The major trait that puts Megan above all others, however, is her kindness, patience, and personability while explaining grammar and difficult APA formatting issues. She genuinely wants to make you see the problems and make the fixes. She is thorough and endearing, which makes you easily find yourself becoming her friend. Thanks for all you do Megan! ❤️”

— Leonie Holthaus, PhD, Institute of Political Science, Darmstadt University of Technology

“My journey with acceptance into my doctoral program rested heavily on my ability to submit a quality academic writing sample. I have been away from academia for nearly 20 years, so this was a daunting task. I sought the expertise of Dr. Krone to review and edit my drafts. Dr. Krone proved to be a fantastic writing coach. She provided an honest and thoughtful critique of my writing samples, making the application process less daunting while also helping to build my confidence that I could produce quality writing samples. She offered words of encouragement throughout the process, for which I am forever grateful.”

— K.H., MA

“I strongly recommend anyone in need of writing assistance to try Megan Krone. She’s professional and the best editor I have ever encountered. I was writing my application materials for graduate admissions when my colleague referred me to her. I quickly contacted Megan, expressing my main writing concerns and requesting her immediate services.  Her response was professional and gave me hope for improving my writing skills. I worked with her for nearly 2 months. She fine tuned my writing samples, statements of purpose, and diversity statements, which eventually won me admissions [in two doctoral programs]. Megan does not just help to perfect the present work but coaches you to write professionally. For students, you also have the chance to get discounts, so you pay less while getting the best quality services.'“

— Patrick Mwanjawala, MA

“Megan edited my comprehensive exam for my [Nurse Practitioner Master’s of Science]. The subject material was completely outside of her wheelhouse, but it didn't affect her ability to provide quality revisions. She showed patience and put in great effort to make my scruffy paper presentable. I felt fairly insecure with my novice critiquing skills, but Megan's feedback was helpful and highlighted some things that I would've probably missed. She pulled better work out of me. Overall she is an incredible editor with great skill in finessing words and I would definitely call upon her again.”

— Byanqa Robinson, RN

“Dr. Krone's work is stellar! Not only that, she is a pleasure to work with. Dr. Krone edited an article for me that was accepted for publication in an international, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal without any revisions. This shows how detailed Dr. Krone's work is. She also edited two professional papers for me. With those papers, too, she went above and beyond simply editing for syntax, mechanics, and clarity and provided suggestions regarding organization and content. Even with that depth she works efficiently and sends the work back in a timely manner. Her demeanor is professional and kind. She even has a sense of humor. I highly recommend Dr. Krone.”

— Regula Schmid, EdD, Azuza Pacific University

“I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Krone during my dissertation journey. When I landed my first job out of college, I was told several times that my writing was at an ‘ESL’ level. My supervisor at the time always criticized my grammar and mentioned I needed extra work on my writing. Her words made me second guess my education and ability to continue my education. To this day, I still remember her exact words of criticism toward my writing and how it affected my confidence in my everyday work. During my dissertation journey, I was afraid of failing for that same exact reason, but Dr. Krone proved me wrong. I thank her for her support and encouraging words during this writing journey. I learned a lot from her, and she is a large part of my success and helped me become a better writer. I finally finished my dissertation last Spring of 2020 and I am so grateful of Dr. Krone's work and editing skills. She is so flexible with your schedule and quick! Her suggestions are clear, concise and helped me think ‘big picture’ of what I was trying to articulate. Megan is the BEST!!!!”

— Chantal L. Carrancho, EdD, Educational Leadership and Administration, City University of Seattle, 2020

“Megan Krone came recommended from an online forum of academic moms – specifically moms who work in Student Affairs. We’re a difficult bunch to please – after all, we work serving students each day, so expectations are high. I knew from the start Megan was the right fit to help with my dissertation edits and formatting. We started out with a brief conversation where she outlined her services, timing, and fees. Her expertise was clear, and as we worked more closely together, I realized this was someone who I trusted with my baby – my dissertation! Megan is a great writer, knowledgeable about key trends and extremely thorough. Her rates to review and edit were very fair, and I found myself looking forward to learning from her skill. Making an investment in an editor can be a tough decision, but it’s not one I regret. At all. Megan Krone is professional, accurate, timely, and smart. I highly recommend her for any editing needs! 5 stars!!!!!”

— Kristen Kleffner, PhD, Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, University of Missouri, Columbia, 2020

“Megan Krone is phenomenal to work with. I recently reached out to her for a last-minute (like, really last minute) request to edit a grant proposal for my team and me. She was gracious enough to take the project on and worked tenaciously over the weekend to deliver the edited document to my team on time. The final product was thorough and Megan demonstrated a level of intuitiveness around the purpose of the project. It was apparent that she did her research on what my team and I were looking to accomplish and tailored her editing.  I truly believe her feedback gave us a leg-up during the proposal process, and I would HIGHLY recommend Megan.”

— Angela R. Howard, MA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, ARH Clarity Consulting

— Schyler Horton

“Megan worked with me on a Fulbright grant application. I was initially hesitant to pursue external help with my application as I am typically self-conscious with my writing; however, Megan's gracious and supportive coaching style gave me the confidence to complete my application successfully. Her process was very methodical and she provided timely edits and thoughtful insights. After two rounds of edits, the quality of my application was noticeable, and I was immensely proud of the final product. I plan to work with Megan with any future academic work as I believe she added incredible value to my work. I'm so grateful to have her as a resource.”

She continues to amaze me with her support and assistance with other projects we work on together. She is at all times professional and encouraging, and I always am learning from her. I highly recommend her and would use no one else. At times, she has gone above and beyond what I would have expected from an editor.”

In many instances, the turn around from my end was very tight. Megan not only delivered on my requests but provided the needed calm necessary so that the work and reviews would be done. I seriously would not have completed this important academic quest without Megan Krone. She is a consummate editor and coach.”

— Colleen Fritze, EdD, Higher Education Administration, Northeastern University, 2018

“Megan helped me get through the tail end of my dissertation process. She provided great feedback and was a positive force to help me get across the finish line.

“Could not have been happier with the service/help I received from Megan in editing my dissertation. My timeline became contracted during the process and I really needed a great guide and someone with strong editing abilities. Megan was perfect. She was really able to deliver timely edits and suggestions at this most critical juncture of my doctoral journey. I am very glad to have her as my editor as I completed my PhD. You will not be disappointed in using her services.”

— Eric Brown, PhD, Leadership Studies, University of San Diego, 2017

“I was thrilled with the service I received from Dr. Krone. Her edits were very helpful, and balanced addressing the technical aspects of APA formatting with deeper feedback that helped improve the clarity of my writing. Megan worked with me to make sure I understood how to best address the feedback my dissertation committee gave me and to make sure that the best version of my work could be realized. She also made sure that I received feedback in a timely manner to ensure that I did not miss the many deadlines needed to graduate on time. I can very confidently say that Dr. Krone was a major part of my successful completion of a Ph.D., and I would recommend her as an editor to anyone looking for a coach.
