Does anyone know of a good and reliable APA proofreading or copy editing service with good prices? I know this is terrible, but I actually hate re-reading my own work. I need to turn in my Capstone paper on Sunday, and I have a ton of stuff to do. I offered to pay a friend of mine who is an editor to do it but she has anxiety and the length of the text seems to be too much for her. It's basically 86 pages of text not including all the fluff (references, appendix, etc), and I'd need it back Friday night. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be helpful. Thanks!

I know nothing about TESU but most colleges have a writing center where you can submit your work and the people reviewing it will check it against the needed citation standard and also check for grammar/spelling, etc. mistakes. I always submit my papers to MSU's writing center. I'd say wanting 86 pages back in 2 days might be very difficult and any service you could find would like charge a premium for the quick turnaround.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

You could try fiverr - I've had good proof reading experiences with people there. Be prepared to pay a significant premium for such a large document and short turnaround though. Honestly, as someone who occasionally does proofreading myself, I wouldn't take a project that big with only a day or two to work on it. Maybe if I didn't have another job, and didn't have any other projects going, but probably not even then.

Can't help you with the editing, but you can be confident that some errors here and there will probably go unnoticed in an 86 page tome that no professor really wants to read.
Be very careful with fiverr, many of the folks are semi-scammers from India, Malaysia, and other developing countries.

Just wanted to update you all that I figured out how to use the online writing services at TESU for proofreading. I submitted my paper yesterday, but so far haven't heard back. I found a proofreader using LinkedIn who is familiar with my paper topic though, so I reached out to her. She said she could do it for $0.35 per page or $0.45 per page for rush jobs.

Starving English majors can be found on UpWorks. I've used them to edit my business proposals and to edit a paper I wrote. I've had a good experience with them. For this I woulnd't use anyone from India or Pakistan, they tend to overstate their qualifications and you might get burned if it doesn't come turn out to be APA.
