I am currently in need of readers to read my thesis. They upped the number of readers I need from 3 to 10 and I am turning my thesis in on Wednesday.
If you have knowledge of APA style and psychological writing that would be great, but I am not picky at this point.
If you offer to do it then please follow through, my thesis is relatively short (about 14 pages, double spaced) but I do need people to read the whole thing and give me honest feedback regarding writing style, grammer and spelling.

Damn, I don't know APA. I got MLA down, though :)

Good luck with it!

Almost everyone else uses MLA, we just had to be the odd ones that used APA style. If you are still willing to just read (without paying attention to the citation style) please let me know.

Siamsa,
I am too far removed on the APA style, grammar, and syntax requirements, but I spend 1/2 my time reading and correcting attorney briefs. If you want someone for context, readability, style, and focus on the thesis assumptions I'll be glad to help.

Anyone who's read my live chats knows that I rely 100% on the computer to do my spell check. beth can be of great assistance on that front and the grammar. You'll get 2 sets of 'eyes' for the price of one!

I think you have my direct email. But should you need it again let me know!

I'm sure it's great!

I can send you Me e-mail addy on the other side if you need another reader. I do know APA style (Canada) and used it for the middle 3 years of university. I have also noted that what style or version of APA is accpetable depends on when the professor learned it. I had one ranting that I was doing it wrong who was still using an older version that was slightly different. I had just downloaded the most recent style.

Anyhow, I have a number of psychological courses under My belt as well as a couple of years of university english courses.

I know MLA but not APA. If you email it to me tonight, I can read it.
Tomorrow I will be at the Masters Golf Tournament and then the Hootie and the Blowfish concert and expect that I won't be mentally fit to be reading a thesis.

I have emailed you my regular email address on the otherside.
