Q— Why use a Ph.D. for my editing? Can’t someone with a Master's edit my paper? A—Earning a Ph.D. requires years of concentrated and meticulous effort. Becoming a professional scholar, theorist and writer involves doctoral coursework in which the candidate must continually research, write and present studies of academic article length and quality assessed by professors who are experts in their field. The doctoral candidate then undertakes a two-day-long process called comprehensive examinations, which consist of writing broadly in a number of disciplinary areas. A committee of experts on each subject critiques the exams regarding the substantiveness and quality of content, construction, organization and prose. Only those Ph.D. candidates who pass this stage are allowed to design, write and publish a book-length primary research study called a dissertation. Again, a committee of Ph.D.s with specific expertise in the named areas evaluates the candidate's work. In order to confer the doctoral degree, they require flawlessness and excellence. This arduous process prepares us to be true editors and writers, while a Master's degree—which each of us have as well—simply does not.
