PhD thesis 
Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland

"For an unparalleled and thorough editing service, Kristin Lush stands out as the ultimate choice.

Entrusting her with the editing service gave me an overwhelming sense of confidence when submitting my thesis because her approach to her work is both professional and meticulous. What sets Kristin apart is her dedication to providing detailed explanations and rationale for every suggestion she offers. 

It's rare to encounter an editor who genuinely invests interest in your work beyond the scope of the service provided. Her genuine engagement with my thesis was truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly endorse her exceptional editing services."

PhD Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy
McGill University
Montreal, Canada

"I would recommend Kristin without hesitation to anyone in need of support for their academic work.

My successfully defended dissertation, on the contribution made to the philosophical theorization of affect by a modern Japanese philosopher, is theoretically dense, written in English, but based on materials from French, German, and Japanese philosophy. Kristin handled the language and content challenges of this thesis exceptionally well and successfully copyedited it in a timely and well-communicated manner. Further, as I am reliant on adaptive software due to a visual impairment, I appreciated that Kristin successfully accommodated the specific format in which I required editing feedback without condescension."

PhD thesis 
Doctor of Clinical Psychology
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland

"Working with Kristin was incredibly mana-affirming. She has a real talent for accuracy and enhancing intended meanings. I found her comments validating, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming. Her open-mindedness and broad political knowledge are real assets.

 

I particularly appreciated her efforts to confirm that her contributions were meaningful and aligned with our copyediting plan. Out of all my university education experience, I found my work with Kristin most useful, in part because of her kindness."

"Kristin provided proofreading and editing support for my thesis. I am very thankful for her patience and assistance during a very nervous time as I worked to meet a tight deadline. She is definitely an outstanding communicator, and she made a great effort to support me in my first research project.

 

Her suggestions were very helpful for my final submission and my future research aspirations. I recommend her to everyone who wishes to have a supportive, kind and detailed eye over their work! Fa'afetai tele lava. "

"Kristin worked closely with me during the final stage of my thesis. I found her work truly remarkable. She accommodated my schedule and provided extremely high quality service. She was excellent in paying attention to details and providing structural advice. I also found her passionate and inspiring in the way she engaged with my work. Most importantly, she strictly followed guidelines and made sure that all work edited preserved my original meanings. I would not hesitate to recommend her to all writers, especially those with English as a second language."

Academic and Researcher (ICT4D) 
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University

"Kristin recently gave one of my project reports 'The WORKS'. Her attitude was professional and helpful, and she completed the work on time. She helped me to finalize my manuscript and provided useful feedback on my arguments and on the structure of the paper. I did not expect such a humble and constructive approach from a professional editor. I would happily recommend her for any kind of English editing work."

Master's Thesis
Master of Psychology
Massey University

"I recently acquired Kristin's services for my Kaupapa Māori Master's thesis, and I’m so glad I did! To start, despite not being Māori herself, Kristin has an impressive knowledge of and openness to te ao Māori. Furthermore, she took the time to consider my individual writing needs. Also, Kristin provided AMAZING feedback.

 

I had contacted several other proofreaders, but chose Kristin based on her āhua, energy, and enthusiasm for my thesis. Proofreading services can be costly, but Kristin’s services are well worth it.”

Master's Thesis
Master of Architecture 
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland

"I was in a difficult situation: another proofreader had decided to stop working on my thesis. Luckily, I found Kristin through the University of Auckland’s list of approved proofreaders [now inactive, 2024]. Kristin made time for me and worked calmly and closely with me to proofread key parts of my thesis in a short time. She communicated with me effectively and was open to my questions and comments.

 

I was more than happy with Kristin's work and would recommend her based on her attention to detail, cost, time, flexibility and quality.”

Master's Thesis
Master of Architecture 
Unitec Institute of Technology

"I was at first wary about whether Kristin would be able to help in my specific field. However, she understood the requirements for my project and helped to make the writing clear and precise for the reader while singling out grammatical errors that I had missed. Kristin's efficiency and quality of work was worth every cent I paid. I now feel proud of my writing and confident that I will achieve a high grade for my last year of university.”
