Testimonials

“I regularly refer Ardell to my dissertation students as she will ensure that they meet the APA requirements."


—Diana B. Hiatt-Micheal, Ed.D., professor emeritus at Pepperdine University

"Ardell Broadbent is a wonderful, thorough editor who is a joy to work with. She was recommended by a friend in my doctoral cohort who is an English professor at a local college. Ardell completed technical tasks I found daunting, like finding missing reference information. That was such a relief. She also edited for clarity; she found places where I had confusing wording and asked questions that helped me to clarify the text. Ardell is more than a very good editor; she also has a compassionate understanding of the dissertation journey. She was very clear and responsive with deadlines. She was reassuring with advice when my university’s process of submission became frustrating for me. She even offered support for my defense and gave me a “heads up” of what the final APA clearance would entail. 


I found her pricing to be completely fair. On the high end, but worth it. It may feel overwhelming to look at a menu of services, but Ardell isn’t out to sell what you do not need. She gave me accurate estimates and was completely transparent. The dissertation process is challenging. Feel some of that weight lift off your shoulders by getting help." 


—Naomi Castro EdD, Director at the Career Ladders Project

"Ardell Broadbent is extremely knowledgeable and well-informed. She is a skilled, insightful, and professional editor who listens to her clients’ comments and works to develop the best possible product for them."


—Rudy B. Frias, Ed.D., Assistant Professor 

“Ardell can guide you from start to finish. A close colleague of mine who knows my second-language issues read my dissertation and said, ‘I know you didn’t write this alone, but I can hear your voice’. Contact me if you want to know more."   

—Mario E. Castaneda, Ed.D., Professor of Curriculum & Instruction, California State University 

“I was surprised by the broad range in costs online among seemingly similar editing services. Ardell came highly recommended, however, and I was impressed by the transparency on her site. Furthermore, she threw in plenty of encouragement and advice for free! I am thoroughly impressed with Ardell's expertise, professionalism, and timeliness. My defense went off without a hitch! Regarding her prices, she was actually able to complete what I requested in less than the time estimated, since I had done a decent job of formatting already, allowing me to celebrate with a wee trip! I consider Ardell to have been a critical member of my dissertation team.” 


— Alexis Pope, Ed.D., Director of Admissions, Appalachian State University

"To say that Ardell was an excellent resource to me during the finalization of my dissertation is an understatement. Two of my cohort members recommended Ardell as efficient, thorough, and professional. When I reached out to Ardell for assistance, rather than try to "sell" me on her services she focused on what I was in need of. Ardell's services were well worth the cost. She even found a methodological error that my advisor had missed, which my advisor agreed was necessary to change. Although I'm a tenured professor, I needed an expert in APA. After my final defense, I submitted my dissertation to the APA review committee and after one review I was approved to submit and publish. Should anyone have any questions about my review, feel free to reach out to me."—
