What We Do Writing Center Mission: The Walden University Writing Center is dedicated to helping students become better writers.

Policies No-Shows Plagiarism Yes, we will say that you can’t cut and paste But, we will work with you to learn how to do it right Consultants v. Editors for Hire Our job is to teach For full policies, go to:

Editors The Walden dissertation editors work with students during the drafting stage of their dissertation or doctoral study manuscript; we help guide them through the finer points of APA style, manuscript format, and organizing and presenting the material in a way that is clear, concise, and scholarly. Unlike most universities, whether on line or land based, Walden offers editorial assistance to students as they are developing their dissertation drafts.

Editors To make the most of our editorial services, students at the dissertation drafting stage should have command over the basic elements of academic writing, including an understanding of grammar and organization. It is the responsibility of the student to develop these writing skills prior to beginning the dissertation. Opportunities for improving writing skills are available to Walden students through the graduate writing courses. Other options for students in the initial stages of the drafting process include creating or joining a peer-review group, participating in online discussion board through eCampus, attending one of the webinars offered by the Writing Center, or hiring an editor.

Because the editor policies, as described in the WIRE Student Guide, specify that we will review one chapter per reservation and one revision of that chapter, students are advised to submit a chapter draft that is as complete as possible. We encourage students working on very early drafts to consult with their committee chair to ensure that all content elements are in place before working with an editor. Once content is in place, editors can then work to help students refine the draft to improve cohesion and flow, voice and grammar, and APA style, and make sure the draft complies with formatting guidelines.
